Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Suffering is one of life's great teachers.
Suffering is a corrective to point out a lesson which by other means we have failed to grasp, and never can it be eradicated until that lesson is learnt.
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Experience is the extract of suffering.
The processes of teaching the child that everything cannot be as he wills it are apt to be painful both to him and to his teacher.
Suffering is the substance of life and the root of personality, for it is only suffering that makes us persons.
The reward of suffering is experience.
Suffering without understanding in this life is a heap worse than suffering when you have at least the grain of an idea what it's all for.
I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.
The word 'suffering' is not in my vocabulary.
