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
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
-William Nicholson
"Shadowlands"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
...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...
