A world without suffering is a world without life.

~Keith Azzopardi

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.

~Ernest Hemingway

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

~Hermann Hesse

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

~Dalai Lama

Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.

~Edgar Allan Poe

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

~Helen Keller

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

~Isodore Duncan

I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

~Elie Wiesel

Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

~George Eliot

Suffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all. The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to Him in trust and confidence.

~Billy Graham

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy

~John Calvin
