Affliction
As threshing separates the wheat from
the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.
?Sir Richard Burton
Though all afflictions are evils
in themselves, yet they are good
for us, because they discover to us
our disease and tend to our cure.
?John Tillotson
Strength is born in the deep silence
of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.
?Felicia D. Hemans
I know of no man of genius who had
not to pay, in some affliction or
defect either physical or spiritual,
for what the gods had given him.
?Max Beerbohm
No one could be more happy than a
man who has never known affliction
?Demetrius Phalerens
When something [an affliction] happens to you,
you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
?Rosalind Russell
