When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Quotations
Suffering
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
...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...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
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
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
