-Napoleon Bonaparte
Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
"Shadowlands"
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
