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

Quotations
Suffering
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-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
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
