Quote

Pain is the doorway to wisdom and to truth.

Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge.

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

Pain is the root of knowledge.

Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

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

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
