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
Quotations
Suffering
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
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"
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

-Napoleon Bonaparte
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.

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
