Quotations
Suffering
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
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
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
