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
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"
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
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
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
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
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
