Love can't be proven with poems, promises, or presents. Sometimes, only pain and patience can prove it.

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

Emotional pain will always hurt more than physical pain.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Missing you can turn from pain to pleasure if I knew you were missing me too.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
