Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

"Shadowlands"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
...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
"A Familiar Rain"
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
