Quotations
Suffering
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
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"
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
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
