Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
Quotations
Suffering
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
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
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
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
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
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"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
