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
Quotations
Suffering
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
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
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
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
