Who feareth to suffer suffereth already, because he feareth.
- Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Suffering Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Suffering

1.
A misery is not to be measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer.
Joseph Addison

2.
Suffering is part of the divine idea.
Beecher, Henry Ward

3.
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
Donne, John

4.
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

5.
If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

6.
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

7.
One must really have suffered oneself to help others.
Mother Teresa

8.
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.
Proust, Marcel

9.
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

10.
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer
Blackstone, Sir William

11.
I have not yet met with a sorrow that could not be borne, nor with one who's passing did not leave me stronger.
Kathryn L. Nelson

12.
Oh, fear not in a world like this, and thou shalt know erelong, know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

13.
The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard.
Weil, Simone

14.
To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.
Wilde, Oscar

15.
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

16.
Who feareth to suffer suffereth already, because he feareth.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

17.
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

18.
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
Lynd, Robert

19.
We all choke.
Strange, Curtis

20.
But penance need not be paid in suffering...It can be paid in forward motion. Correcting the mistake is a positive move, a nurturing move.
Barbara Hall

21.
If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo

22.
Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

23.
How little it takes to make life unbearable: a pebble in the shoe, a cockroach in the spaghetti, a woman's laugh.
Mencken, H. L.

24.
You do not have to suffer to be a poet. Adolescence is enough suffering for anyone.
Ciardi, John

25.
You can't drown your sorrows, they always float to the surface.

26.
I've suffered from all of the hang-ups known, and none is as bad as the telephone.
Armour, Richard

27.
The worst part a man can suffer is to have insight into much and power over nothing.
Herodotus

28.
A cold in the head causes less suffering than an idea.
Renard, Jules

29.
One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

30.
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
Aristotle

31.
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
Williams, Tennessee

32.
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

33.
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

34.
No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

35.
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

36.
I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

37.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
Thich Nhat Hanh

38.
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...

39.
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca

40.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
La Fontaine, Jean De

41.
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
Carrel, Alexis

42.
So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.
Isodore Duncan

43.
Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
Edgar Allan Poe

44.
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

45.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Flack, Roberta

46.
Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.
Mansfield, Katherine

47.
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

48.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
Aeschylus

49.
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

50.
Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It's no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
