Suffering Quotes

My scars show pain and suffering, but they also show my will to survive. They’re part of my history that’ll always be there Picture Quote #1

While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos... I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false Picture Quote #1

Bad things will happen and good things too. Your life will be full of surprises. Miracles happen only where there has been suffering. So taste your grief to the fullest. Don’t try and press it down. Don’t hide from it. Don’t escape. It is life too. It is truth. But it will pass and time will put a strange honey in the bitterness. That’s the way life goes Picture Quote #1

Unless you have suffered and wept, you really don’t understand what compassion is, nor can you give comfort to someone who is suffering. If you haven’t cried, you can’t dry another’s eyes. Unless you’ve walked in darkness, you can’t help wanderers find the way. Unless you’ve looked into the eyes of menacing death and felt its hot breath, you can’t help another rise from the dead and taste anew the joy of being alive Picture Quote #1

It is not my experience that we are here to fix the world, that we are here to change anything at all. I think we are here so the world can change us. And if part of that change is that the suffering of the world moves us compassion, to awareness, to sympathy, to love, that is a very good thing Picture Quote #1

Intellect without humanity is not good enough... what the world is suffering from at the present time is not so much an overabundance of intellect as an insufficiency of humanity Picture Quote #1

Every good composition is above all a work of abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects altogether without his work suffering impoverishment Picture Quote #1

Once admit that we have the right to inflict unnecessary suffering and you destroy the very basis of human society Picture Quote #1

Have you ever heard of a woman bloody dictator or tyrant? I think not. If there were more women in power, I think we would have more harmony, more engagement and less suffering and less conflict Picture Quote #1

A scientist who is also a human being cannot rest while knowledge which might be used to reduce suffering rests on the shelf Picture Quote #1

In order to live fully we may need to look deeply at our own suffering and at the suffering of others. In the depths of every wound we have survived is the strength we need to live. The wisdom our wounds can offer us is a place of refuge. Finding this is not for the faint of heart. But then, neither is life Picture Quote #1

Nonacceptance is always suffering, no matter what you are not accepting. Acceptance is always freedom, no matter what you are accepting Picture Quote #1

I saw the suffering and I let myself feel it… I saw the injustice and was compelled to do something about it. I changed from being a nun who only prayed for the suffering world to a woman with my sleeves rolled up, living my prayer Picture Quote #1

To be a spiritual warrior means to develop a special kind of courage, one that is innately intelligent, gentle, and fearless. Spiritual warriors can still be frightened, but even so they are courageous enough to taste suffering, to relate clearly to their fundamental fear, and to draw out without evasion the lessons from difficulties Picture Quote #1

Curiosity, wonder, and passion are defining qualities of imaginative minds and great teachers... Restlessness and discontent are vital things... Intense experience and suffering instruct us in ways less intense emotions can never do Picture Quote #1

Don’t sidestep suffering. You have to go through it to get where you’re going Picture Quote #1

If we knew what people had been through, their sorrow and suffering, we would not be so quick to judge Picture Quote #1

Today’s events are tomorrow’s history, yet events seen by the naked eye lack the depth and breadth of human struggles, triumphs and suffering. Writing history is writing the soul of the past… so that the present generation may learn from past mistakes, be inspired by their ancestor’s sacrifices, and take responsibility for the future Picture Quote #1

Love is our only weapon. Only love can turn mere life into a miracle, and draw precious meaning from suffering and fear Picture Quote #1

If you really want to help, then help others to be more present. Help others to free themselves from the past. Help others to take responsibility for themselves. Help them to see how they are creating their own suffering. Every now and then, you will encounter innocent ones who are suffering through no fault of their own, particularly animals and children. Do not hesitate! Help them Picture Quote #1

All human beings have an innate desire to overcome suffering, to find happiness. Training the mind to think differently, through meditation, is one important way to avoid suffering and be happy Picture Quote #1

I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It’s true that fretting never did any good Picture Quote #1

Worthless are those who injure others vengefully, while those who stoically endure are like stored gold. The gratification of the vengeful lasts only for a day, but the glory of the forbearing lasts until the end of time. Though unjustly aggrieved, it is best to suffer the suffering and refrain from unrighteous retaliation Picture Quote #1

There is really no reason to suffer. The only reason you suffer is because you choose to suffer. If you look at your life you will find many excuses to suffer, but a good reason to suffer you will not find. The same is true for happiness. The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering Picture Quote #1

I forget, because it’s hard to realize that the same person who gives you so much love, and to whom you give so much in return, can go through the kinds of pain and suffering that nothing you do can alleviate Picture Quote #1

There are moments of levity. I feel like any great drama has moments of levity, or else it just becomes too hard to watch. 45 minutes of just pain and suffering is not enjoyable. We’re trying to entertain people Picture Quote #1

There is no denying that we are suffering from a collective neurosis and the novel which does not face this is not a novel of our time Picture Quote #1

Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power Picture Quote #1

Pain and suffering are a kind of currency passed from hand to hand until they reach someone who receives them but does not pass them on Picture Quote #1

Hospitals are a little like the beach. The next wave comes in, and the footprints of your pain and suffering, your delivery and recovery, are obliterated Picture Quote #1
