Quotations
Suffering

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 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

There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
- Antonio Porchia

Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

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

Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
- Napoleon Bonaparte

The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Gustav Jung

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
