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.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

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

Pain is love and love is pain.

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

An hour of pain is as long as a day of pleasure.

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
