“Man has to suffer. When he has no real afflictions, he invents some.”

“The real test of a man is not when he plays the role that he wants for himself but when he plays the role destiny has for him.”

“The true measure of a real man is that he has the ability to admit when he is wrong, apologize, and make amends to those he wronged”

“When a man has learned how to remain alone with his suffering, how to overcome his longing to flee, then he has little left to learn.”

“Pain anguish and suffering in human life are always in proportion to the strength with which a man is endowed. We will not pretend to say that Heaven always apportions to a man's capability of endurance the anguish with which he afflicts him...Suffering is in proportion to the strength which has been accorded in other words the weak suffer more where the trial is the same than the strong.”

“You're a man who has suffered and wants revenge,' she said. 'Your heart is dead, your soul is in darkness. The devil by your side is smiling because you are playing the game he invented.”
