When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Quotations
Suffering
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-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
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
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"
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
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
