Quote

Experience is the extract of suffering.

A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.

Suffering is a kind of ecstasy in a way. Having pain all the time makes me terribly, terribly grateful for every moment I've got.

Suffering makes a people greater, and we have suffered much. We had a message to give the world, but we were overwhelmed, and the message was cut off in the middle. In time there will be millions of us - becoming stronger and stronger - and we will complete the message.

What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
