Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Quotations
Suffering
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
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 there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
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"
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
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
