The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Quotations
Suffering
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
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"
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
