“It has been a hard lesson to learn, that greatness requires suffering.”

“A hard lesson had been learned--that man himself suffers most when his hand despoils the earth and robs it of its legitimate fruits.”

“To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life”

“Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned. Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned. My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned...another lesson learned”

“Each one of us must suffer long to himself before he can learn that he is but one in a great community of wretchedness which has been pitilessly repeating itself from the foundation of the world.”

“I had learned this lesson so many timesbefore. It was the great inner truth thatdidn't require the support of logic. Everytime I loved, I lost, and I was diminished.I wondered how much of me would be leftafter tomorrow.”
