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
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
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
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
