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 is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.
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.
Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation.
