Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Quotations
Suffering
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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 had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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
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
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
