Quotations
Suffering

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