He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We can learn from him that suffering and the gift of himself is an essential gift we need in our time.
His love at once and dread instruct our thought; As man He suffer'd and as God He taught.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
The Savior has suffered not just for our iniquities but also for the inequality, the unfairness, the pain, the anguish, and the emotional distresses that so frequently beset us.
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.
For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.
When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one.
He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
