Quotations
Pain
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills. We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
-Charlie Chaplin
