Quotations
Suffering
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that

come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

-Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
