Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
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"
