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.

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

Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Sometimes pain can drive a man harder than pleasure.

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

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