Suffering is the ancient law of love;
there is not quest without pain; there
is no lover who is not also a martyr.
?Heinrich Suso
The injuries we do and those we suffer
are seldom weighed in the same scales.
?Aesop
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal
suffering would at least give us a destiny. But
we do not even have that consolation, and
our worst agonies come to an end one day.
?Albert Camus
The only way to be happy is to love to suffer.
?Woody Allen
To live is to suffer, to survive is to
find some meaning in the suffering.
?Roberta Flack
It is not true that suffering ennobles the
character; happiness does that sometimes,
but suffering for the most part,
makes men petty and vindictive.
?W. Somerset Maugham
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
?Seneca
