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.

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

God gave us pain to remind us we are alive, so we will learn to value the joys and beauty of the world.

Pain is the substance of life and the root of personality, because only suffering is a person.

Pain is the only evil I know about. It’s the only one I can fight.

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

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