Suffering Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Suffering

1.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Flack, Roberta

2.
To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering. Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.
Pavese, Cesare

3.
In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying.
Bertrand Russell

4.
A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.
Seneca

5.
Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God.
Mother Teresa

6.
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
Williams, Tennessee

7.
I've suffered from all of the hang-ups known, and none is as bad as the telephone.
Armour, Richard

8.
To perceive is to suffer.
Aristotle

9.
Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is not quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr.
Suso, Heinrich

10.
Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

11.
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
Aristotle

12.
One must really have suffered oneself to help others.
Mother Teresa

13.
You are outside life, you are above life, you have miseries which the ordinary man does not know, you exceed the normal level, and it is for this that men refuse to forgive you, you poison their peace of mind, you undermine their stability. You have irrepressible pains whose essence is to be inadaptable to any known state, indescribable in words. You have repeated and shifting pains, incurable pains, pains beyond imagining, pains which are neither of the body nor of the soul, but which partake of both. And I share your suffering, and I ask you: who dares to ration our relief? We are not going to kill ourselves just yet. In the meantime, leave us the hell alone.
Artaud, Antonin

14.
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer
Blackstone, Sir William

15.
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

16.
It is not suffering as such that is most deeply feared but suffering that degrades.
Sontag, Susan

17.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
Aeschylus

18.
No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

19.
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
Carrel, Alexis

20.
To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.
Wilde, Oscar

21.
Great artists suffer for the people.
Gaye, Marvin

22.
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
Donne, John

23.
A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.
Gurdjieff, George

24.
Man has to suffer. When he has no real afflictions, he invents some.
Jose Marti

25.
There is not much sense in suffering, since drugs can be given for pain, itching, and other discomforts. The belief has long died that suffering here on earth will be rewarded in heaven. Suffering has lost its meaning.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

26.
You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
Henri-FrÚdÚric Amiel

27.
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

28.
But a somewhat more liberal and sympathetic examination of mankind will convince us that the cross is even older than the gibbet, that voluntary suffering was before and independent of compulsory; and in short that in most important matters a man has always been free to ruin himself if he chose.
G. K. Chesterton

29.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
La Fontaine, Jean De

30.
It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
Maugham, W. Somerset

31.
There is no true love save in suffering, and in this world we have to choose either love, which is suffering, or happiness. Man is the more man -- that is, the more divine -- the greater his capacity for suffering, or rather, for anguish.
Unamuno, Miguel De

32.
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away blessed be the name of the Lord.
Bible

33.
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Kafka, Franz

34.
You do not have to suffer to be a poet. Adolescence is enough suffering for anyone.
Ciardi, John

35.
Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.
Hesse, Hermann

36.
You can't drown your sorrows, they always float to the surface.

37.
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
Faulkner, William

38.
Suffering is by no means a privilege, a sign of nobility, a reminder of God. Suffering is a fierce, bestial thing, commonplace, uncalled for, natural as air. It is intangible; no one can grasp it or fight against it; it dwells in time -- is the same thing as time; if it comes in fits and starts, that is only so as to leave the sufferer more defenseless during the moments that follow, those long moments when one relives the last bout of torture and waits for the next.
Pavese, Cesare

39.
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.
Proust, Marcel

40.
So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.
Isodore Duncan

41.
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...

42.
We all choke.
Strange, Curtis

43.
Who feareth to suffer suffereth already, because he feareth.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

44.
I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

45.
For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing.
Carlyle, Thomas

46.
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
Orwell, George

47.
I have found that it don't really matter if you're brought up fine or rough, but that it helps to have someone to spill your sorrows to.
Erica Eisdorfer

48.
A cold in the head causes less suffering than an idea.
Renard, Jules

49.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller

50.
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca
