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
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
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
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
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"
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
