God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
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.

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