Quotations
Suffering
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
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
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
