God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Suffering
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
-William Nicholson
"Shadowlands"
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
