Quotations
Suffering
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
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
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
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
