God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Suffering
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
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
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
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
"Acheron"
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
