Pain is the necessary condition of our body, and suffering is the necessary condition of our spiritual life, from birth to death.
—MARCUS AURELIUS
You should welcome everything which happens to you from birth to death, because the existence and the purpose of the world is in these cases.
—MARCUS AURELIUS
Only in the storm can you see the art of the real sailor; only on the battlefield can you see the bravery of a soldier. The courage of a simple person can be seen in how he copes with the difficult and dangerous situations in life.
—DANIEL ACHINSKY
Those things which we call happiness and those which we call unhappiness are useful for us, especially when we see them as opportunities to try ourselves.
The legend about the wandering Jew who was suffering the punishment of eternal life is very true. In the same way, there is a legend about a man who was punished by being given a life without any suffering.
