Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Quotations
Suffering
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
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
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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"
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
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
