The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
Quotations
Suffering
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
