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.

Suffering
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.

"Voces (Voices)"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-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"
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
