He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus Quotes
In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus Quotes
I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
Anais Nin Quotes
If you learn from your suffering, and really come to understand the lesson you were taught, you might be able to help someone else who's now in the phase you may have just completed. Maybe that's what it's all about after all...
Author Unknown Quotes
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
Ben Okri Quotes
And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Bible Quotes
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Buddha Quotes
One who seeks delight in form seeks delight in suffering. One who seeks delight in suffering, I say, is not freed from suffering.
Buddha Quotes
Suffering because life cannot satisfy selfish desire is like suffering because a banana tree will not bear mangoes.
Buddha Quotes
Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.
Carl Gustav Jung Quotes
Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.
Christian Barnard Quotes
In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel "burnout" setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective.
Dalai Lama Quotes
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.
Erich Fromm Quotes
Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people‘s joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own.
Fritz Williams Quotes
Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself.
Gandhi Quotes
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller Quotes
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation - and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
Hermann Hesse Quotes
All suffering is bearable if it is seen as part of a story.
Isak Dinesen Quotes
Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the law of his being.
James Allen Quotes
It is a paradox of life that some of the best people we ever meet are those who have suffered a great deal. Their lives are like still waters that run very deep. There's a quality of inner goodness that has been wrought through all the pain.
James Jones Quotes
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Kahlil Gibran Quotes
Suffering, once accepted, loses its edge, for the terror of it lessens, and what remains is generally far more manageable than we had imagined.
Lesley Hazelton Quotes
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.
Leo F. Buscaglia Quotes
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
M. Kathleen Casey Quotes
We are healed of a suffering only by expressing it to the full.
Marcel Proust Quotes
What makes one heroic? -- Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Nietzsche Quotes
To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.
Oscar Wilde Quotes
Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you.
Ovid Quotes
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
Shakespeare Quotes
One day in retrospect the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
Sigmund Freud Quotes
Suffering is good, in that it constitutes a recognition of inner conflict. Without such recognition, there can be no resolution of problems.
Sri Kriyananda Quotes
One that is not prepared to suffer all things, and to stand to the will of the Beloved, is not worthy to be called a lover of God. A lover ought to embrace willingly all that is hard and distasteful, for the sake of the Beloved; and not to turn away for any contrary accidents.
Thomas a Kempis Quotes
The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.
Thomas Merton Quotes
I suspect that if we could sum up in a single sentence what our purpose in life would be - it's that we were born to be "fully Self-expressive". And we could put a big chunk of the world's suffering under the categories of "suffering because we know that we're not expressing our Selves fully, or mourning that we don't even know who that is, or that we lost touch with that Self somewhere along the way". It's incredibly frustrating to know that you have something inside of you like that and to not be quite reaching the point of giving birth to it - to be bringing it out into the world.
Tracy A. Phaup Quotes
Sometimes humans beg for battles to be taken away from them, not realizing that only in struggling with shadows is the Light made manifest.
W. Michael Gear Quotes
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill Quotes
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen Quotes
