Quotations
Suffering
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
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
