“The choice in this life is not between easy and hard, but between kinds of hardship, between a hardship that gives birth to wisdom, compassion and mercy, and the hardship that keeps on replicating itself to no end.”
“Hardship is a man-made device because man cannot exist without passion. Religion is somewhere between fear and sex.”
“It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.”
“Every hardship is relief,there is one hardship with two relief so one hardship can't over come two relief”
“So truly with hardship comes, ease, truly with hardship comes ease.”
“A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.”
