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
Quotations
Suffering
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
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
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
