“Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you how to stop suffering. That is its purpose.”
“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”
“I have never thought that a Christian would be free of suffering, umfundisi. For our Lord suffered. And I come to believe that he suffered, not to save us from suffering, but to teach us how to bear suffering. For he knew that there is no life without suffering.”
“When we teach ourselves and our children discipline, we are teaching them and ourselves how to suffer and also how to grow.”
“The only thing suffering teaches us is that we are capable of suffering.”
“Perhaps watching someone you love suffer can teach you even more than suffering yourself can.”
