Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
