Aesop
The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.
|
Albert Camus
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
|
Aristotle
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
|
Bible
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
|
Bible
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
|
Elbert Hubbard
If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
|
H. L. Mencken
How little it takes to make life unbearable: a pebble in the shoe, a cockroach in the spaghetti, a woman's laugh.
|
Heinrich Suso
Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is not quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr.
|
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross of suffering bore, Folded their pale hands so meekly, Spake with us on earth no more!
|
Hesiod
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
|
Marcel Proust
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.
|
Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
Have patience and endure; this unhappiness will one day be beneficial. [Lat., Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.]
|
Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless. [Lat., Leniter ex merito quidquid patiare ferendum est, Quae venit indigne poena dolenda venit.]
|
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Those who inflict must suffer, for they see The work of their own hearts, and that must be Our chastisement or recompense.
|
Robert Lynd
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
