Quotations
Suffering
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.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
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
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
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.
