Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
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
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
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
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
