“All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.”

“There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.”

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be.”

“Nothing a man suffers will prevent him from inflicting suffering on others. Indeed, it will teach him the way”

“The times when you are suffering can be those when you are most open, and where you are extremely vulnerable can be where you greatest strength really lies.Say to yourself: ‘I am not going to run away from this suffering. I want to use it in the best and richest way I can, so that I can become more compassionate and more helpful to others.’Suffering, after all, can teach us about compassion. If you suffer you will know how it is when others suffer. And if you are in a position to help others, it is through your suffering that you will find the understanding and compassion to do so.”

“There is no redemption without sacrifice.”
