Quotations
Suffering
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
- Mother Teresa
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
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
- Anonymous
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
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

- Charles Dickens
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. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. 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
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
- Matthew Fox
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
- Ramana Maharshi
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
- John Geddes
