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.

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

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

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

Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.

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

There’s always a person that you hate for no reason.
