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
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette

-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
