Suffering Quotes
-
Pain is evitable. Suffering is optional.
Kathleen Casey
-
We have all learned everything we know physically—from walking to running a marathon—by trial and error, so there's no reason to become our own worst enemies when we suffer a setback. From time to time everyone falls short of their goals. It's an illusion to believe that champions succeed because they do everything perfectly. You can be certain that every archer who hits the bull's-eye has also missed the bull's-eye a thousand times while learning the skill.
Amby Burfoot
-
Our predecessors overcame many troubles and much suffering, but each time got back up stronger than before.
Shinzo Abe
-
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word "love."
C. S. Lewis
-
Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.
Mother Teresa
-
If matter mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of Nature into a multitude of forms, can never die, will the spirit of man suffer annihilation when it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay?
William Jennings Bryan
-
Sometimes I suspect most of the media commentariat are suffering from Munchausen syndrome.
Rebekah Brooks
-
We are social animals. Others' suffering is ultimately your suffering; their happiness is ultimately your happiness.
Dalai Lama
-
I envy all suffering, because suffering is necessary to become spiritually beautiful.
Andrew Davidson

This freedom of movement is the very essence of our free society, setting us apart. Like the right of assembly and the right of association, it often makes all other rights meaningful-knowing, studying, arguing, exploring, conversing, observing and even thinking. Once the right to travel is curtailed, all other rights suffer, just as when curfew or home detention is placed on a person.
William O. Douglas
