Quote

We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.

Change and growth is so painful. But it's so necessary for us to evolve.

Pain is the doorway to wisdom and to truth.

I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.

Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.

If pain could have cured us we should long ago have been saved.

Growth is a painful process.

For these cultures, getting rid of the pain without addressing the deeper cause would be like shutting off a fire alarm while the fire's still going.

Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.
