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.

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

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain.

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