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

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

Pain is love and love is pain.

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

Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.

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

Pain and pleasure like light and darkness, succeed each other.
