Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain.

The most painful goodbye's are those which were never said and never explained.

Pain can be controlled, you just disconnect it.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

Sometimes pain can drive a man harder than pleasure.

Pain is what the world inflicts upon us. Suffering is our emotional reaction when we fail to make the difficult conscious choice to choose Joy.
