Suffering
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
- Saint Augustine of Hippo
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.

- Hermann Hesse
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides.

And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
- Sherrilyn Kenyon
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
