Quotations
Suffering
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
"Acheron"
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia
"Voces (Voices)"
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
