We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
-Kenji Miyazawa

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
-Deep Trivedi
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven’t been born yet.
-Neil Simon
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
