Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
