Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
- Matthew Fox
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
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
- J. Krishnamurti
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
- Helen Keller
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
- Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
- Saint Augustine of Hippo
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Gustav Jung
The reward of suffering is experience.
- Harry S. Truman
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
