I think it's a mistake to miss out on joy just because you have pain.

Do not be afraid that joy will make the pain worse; it is needed like the air we breathe.

Joy always came after pain.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

If you feel pain, you have to make up your mind whether you can play with it or not.

Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.

I discovered that joy is not the negation of pain, but rather acknowledging the presence of pain and feeling happiness in spite of it.

Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.

Shared joy is increased, shared pain is lessened.
