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
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
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
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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
