The cure for pain is in the pain.
Rumi
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
Montaigne
We suffer more in imagination than in reality.
Seneca
Clinging to temporary things gives them power over us, and they become sources of pain and fear.
Jay Shetty
Health outweighs all other blessings so much that one may really say that a healthy beggar is happier than an ailing king
Arthur Schopenhauer
The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.
C.S Lewis
It is easy for the one who stands outside the prison-wall of pain to exhort and teach the one who suffers.
Aeschylus
If you confront the limitations of life courageously, that provides you with a certain psychological purpose that serves as an antidote to the suffering.
Jordan Peterson
Intense, unexpected suffering passes more quickly than suffering that is apparently bearable; the latter goes on for years and, without our noticing, eats away at our soul, until, one day, we are no longer able to free ourselves from the bitterness and it stays with us for the rest of our lives.
Paulo Coelho
When two elephants fight it is the grass that suffers.
African proverbs
The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
Not without hope we suffer and we mourn.
William Wordsworth
Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
Nelson Mandela
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.
Anne Frank
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
