Quotations
Suffering

"Great Expectations"

-Napoleon Bonaparte

-Paulo Coelho
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
