Quotes by Yulia Tymoshenko

Wars have not solved anything in our region. They have only caused misery, suffering, bereavement, and hatred.

Quotes by Yo Yo Honey Singh

Employers tend to forget that the people who are working for them are also suffering. They also have problems. They also are facing issues.

Quotes by Yalitza Aparicio

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

Quotes by Woody Allen

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

Quotes by Willie Nelson

I pass over the toil and suffering and danger which attended the redemption and cultivation of their lands by the colonists, and turn to their civil condition and to the conduct and history of the government.

Quotes by William H. Wharton

If suffering brings wisdom, I would wish to be less wise.

Quotes by William Butler Yeats

Because we don't see the evil destroyed now and thus experience the suffering that evil inevitably inflicts, we are tempted to doubt God's existence and goodness.

Quotes by William A. Dembski

The problem of suffering is: why is there the suffering we know?

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

Thirdly, even if we assume that the world is governed by purpose, we need only add that this purpose - or, if there are several, at least one of them - is not especially intent on preventing suffering, whether it is indifferent to suffering or actually rejoices in it.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

Here an attempt is made to explain suffering: the outcaste of traditional Hinduism is held to deserve his fetched fate; it is a punishment for the wrongs he did in a previous life.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

In all three cases, and for most human beings, the problem of suffering poses no difficult problem at all: one has a world picture in which suffering has its place, a world picture that takes suffering into account.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

It is widely assumed, contrary to fact, that theism necessarily involves the two assumptions which cannot be squared with the existence of so much suffering, and that therefore, per impossibile, they simply have to be squared with the existence of all this suffering, somehow.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

The doctrine of original sin claims that all men sinned in Adam; but whether they did or whether it is merely a fact that all men sin does not basically affect the problem of suffering.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

It does not follow that the meaning must be given from above; that life and suffering must come neatly labeled; that nothing is worth while if the world is not governed by a purpose.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

Life ceases to be so oppressive: we are free to give our own lives meaning and purpose, free to redeem our suffering by making something of it.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

The great artist is the man who most obviously succeeds in turning his pains to advantage, in letting suffering deepens his understanding and sensibility, in growing through his pains.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

To try to fashion something from suffering, to relish our triumphs, and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic.

Quotes by Walter Kaufmann

Forced labor affects the most vulnerable and least protected people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. Women, low-skilled migrant workers, children, indigenous peoples, and other groups suffering discrimination on different grounds are disproportionately affected.

Quotes by Wagner Moura

It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.

Quotes by W. Somerset Maugham

We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.

Quotes by W. Somerset Maugham

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.

Quotes by Vivienne Westwood

Pablo really felt the suffering of people and so became a political animal. But he wanted to bring down extradition because this was the only thing he feared, and it became his obsession, his crusade, his cross.

Quotes by Virginia Vallejo

If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.

Quotes by Viktor E. Frankl

I want the other Victorias out there, the people that are suffering or going through something, to keep fighting.

Quotes by Victoria Arlen

Boy, it is not fun suffering in this body of weak flesh, but Jesus is straightening out all my crooked places.

Quotes by Vanity

It is no longer acceptable to ignore the suffering, and designers must take responsibility for the way that their fur is produced.

Quotes by Twiggy

I had little breakdowns and depression that would last for three days. I also started suffering from panic attacks. I used to get them when I was really young, but they came back. I'd be out having a drink, and then I wouldn't be able to breathe, would freak out, and I'd feel like my heart was going to stop.

Quotes by Tulisa

God wants to free us from ourselves, and there's nothing like suffering to show us that we need something bigger than our abilities and our strength and our explanations.

Quotes by Tullian Tchividjian

There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.

Quotes by Tullian Tchividjian

The Why's of suffering keep us shrouded in a seemingly bottomless void of abstraction where God is reduced to a finite ethical agent, a limited psychological personality, whose purposes measure on the same scale as ours.

Quotes by Tullian Tchividjian

Indeed, there is nothing like suffering to remind us how much we need God. What good news that His purpose and plan for our lives moves in a different direction from ours!

Quotes by Tullian Tchividjian

We may not ever fully understand why God allows the suffering that devastates our lives. We may not ever find the right answers to how we'll dig ourselves out.

Quotes by Tullian Tchividjian

As progressives, we care about the well-being of others. We are soft-hearted and have aloha, respect, compassion for others, and we don't like to see anyone suffering.

Quotes by Tulsi Gabbard

Hoping to garner the support of the American people, proponents of regime-change wars routinely cite humanitarian concerns to justify military intervention in foreign countries. But here is the reality: As a direct result of our intervention in Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, human suffering increased dramatically.

Quotes by Tulsi Gabbard

There is no denying that the interventionist wars in Iraq and Libya that were propagated as necessary to relieve human suffering actually increased human suffering in those countries - many times over.

Quotes by Tulsi Gabbard

Viewed from a holistic ecological perspective, some meat - such as conscientiously hunted animals - involves less suffering and environmental damage than arable agriculture, while both of these are significantly less harmful than indiscriminately purchasing meat on the market.

Quotes by Tristram Stuart

Britain today is suffering from galloping obsolescence.

Quotes by Tony Benn

Revolution is a trivial shift in the emphasis of suffering.

Quotes by Tom Stoppard

Hezbollah's contempt for human suffering is total, as it showed once again this morning when its rockets murdered two Israeli Arab children in Nazareth.

Quotes by Tom Lantos

Stem cell research holds enormous promise for easing human suffering, and federal support is critical to its success.

Quotes by Tom Harkin

Is it crazy that George Bush, ex-President of America, now paints pictures of dogs? Tiny, little, nice pictures of dogs, after all the suffering that he caused? That's crazy that he's doing that!

Quotes by Toby Regbo

Mindfulness helps you to be where you are when you're there. When I'm interacting with constituents who are suffering, that matters.

Quotes by Tim Ryan

Literature... is the union of suffering with the instinct for form.

Thomas Mann

Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering. You have to confront suffering. You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.

Quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh

Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.

Quotes by Tennessee Williams

That all-too-common gap - between where the doctors, facilities and resources are based and where the individuals suffering from HIV live - had to be closed. This is what the Health Extension Program (HEP) was created to do.

Quotes by Tedros Adhanom

The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things.

Quotes by Ted Olson

In the calculus of western interests, there is no suffering, whatever its scale, which cannot be justified. Chechens, Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis are of little importance.

Quotes by Tariq Ali

The young people who join extremist groups are clearly suffering from massive deficiencies in religious knowledge and are often politically gullible (when they are not attempting to salve pangs of conscience by cutting themselves off from a life of delinquency).

Quotes by Tariq Ramadan

My first book, 'Radical Acceptance', grew out of the suffering of feeling personally deficient and unworthy. Because most of us are so quick to turn against ourselves, the teachings and practices of radical acceptance continue as a strong current in 'True Refuge': nurturing a forgiving, understanding heart is a basic step on the path.

Quotes by Tara Brach

Places change over time with or without oil spills, but humans are responsible for the Deepwater Horizon gusher - and humans, as well as the corals, fish and other creatures, are suffering the consequences.

Quotes by Sylvia Earle

Those suffering from spondylitis and arthiritis are not advised to perform certain asanas.

Quotes by Sushma Swaraj

More often writing soliloquies of suffering and consolation than collective songs like the dirge, elegists have discovered that lyric sequences can provide a powerful means of addressing the tensions between grief's inchoate emotion and social rituals of mourning.

Quotes by Susan Stewart

There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things.

Quotes by Susan George

I have seen pain. I can feel the pain of those who undergo it. Pain gets transferred to those who see someone suffering.

Quotes by Suresh Gopi

I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner's relationship with the person who's died.

Quotes by Sue Miller

You get annoyed about things in real life, and then the tragic thing is that while you are moaning on the awful injustice and suffering of something, something grimly comic will then strike you about it, like a parasite feeding off the misery of the world.

Quotes by Stewart Lee

I wouldn't have really committed myself to any kind of spiritual lifestyle, I don't think, if I had not endured great suffering. I think that's the case with a lot of people.

Quotes by Steve-O

When we started making 'Selma,' the Black Lives Matter movement didn't exist. The parallels between Martin Luther King staging these marches, suffering police brutality... we weren't even aware when making the film that these sorts of things would start to happen again in 2015.

Quotes by Stephan James

For me, motivation is easy. I enjoy what I'm doing, and I'm lucky to play tennis. I enjoy the suffering. It's something quite natural for me to go on the court and suffer, and to go in the gym and to suffer, and to know the only way to get better is to work out - that's what I like.

Quotes by Stan Wawrinka

Apart altogether from our own vital interests, we cannot and must not desert those other nations who have already gone through so much tragedy and suffering to defeat the evil designs of the Axis powers.

Quotes by Stafford Cripps

You couldn't enclose people in institutions or hospitals or almshouses in the way the Victorians managed to do. India was too big. Seeing the suffering people was terrible, but I think I was more distraught at the needless cruelty to so many animals.

Quotes by Spike Milligan

Acting is wonderful therapy for people. Instead of suffering for yourself, someone will do it for you.

Quotes by Sophie Marceau

If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else.

Quotes by Simone Weil

We in the west are seen as godless, as greedy and as uncaring about the suffering of those in the developing world.

Quotes by Silvia Cartwright

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

Quotes by Sigmund Freud

We have listened here to the delegates who have recalled the terrible human suffering, and the great material destruction of the late war in the Pacific. It is with feelings of sorrow that we recall the part played in that catastrophic human experience by the old Japan.

Quotes by Shigeru Yoshida

Medical judgment can be taught - laboriously, in long periods of training - but it cannot be neatly handed over as the occasion demands it. It is the irreplaceable and untransferable contribution that the healer makes to the suffering individual who would be healed.

Quotes by Sherwin B. Nuland

We need our children in Jamaica - especially those suffering with dyslexia, autism, cerebral palsy - to get more attention.

Quotes by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

It's a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society - in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away somewhere so we don't have to see it.

Quotes by Sharon Salzberg

It's difficult to admit to ourselves that we suffer. We feel humiliated, like we should have been able to control our pain. If someone else is suffering, we like to tuck them away, out of sight. It's a cruel, cruel conditioning. There is no controlling the unfolding of life.

Quotes by Sharon Salzberg

In our own lives and in our communities, we need to find a way to include others rather than exclude them. We need to find a way to allow our pain and suffering, individually and collectively.

Quotes by Sharon Salzberg

Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.

Quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith

The Batman that I loved growing up, the thing that Frank Miller did in 'The Dark Knight Returns,' is that he's so vulnerable and mortal in his 50s. That book was the first time I saw Batman as being really layered, human, and suffering, and worried that he wouldn't achieve what he wanted to achieve. Seeing him being obsessed and pathological.

Quotes by Scott Snyder

One challenge is trying to extend access to more poorly served communities in rural areas and in the inner city. Sometimes you have kids who are suffering from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, and they have no way of getting access to the remedies that are available to them.

Quotes by Scott Stossel

There were about ten years of trying, failing, trying again, suffering rejection, etc. My first published book, 'Story of a Girl', was the fourth book I wrote.

Quotes by Sara Zarr

I think suffering has always been an incentive for my creativity.

Quotes by Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted.

Quotes by Samuel Smiles

If we misuse the gift of sexuality, we're going to suffer the consequences, and I firmly believe we are suffering the consequences.

Quotes by Salvatore J. Cordileone

The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.

Quotes by Saint Ignatius

True, I am in love with suffering, but I do not know if I deserve the honor.

Quotes by Saint Ignatius

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

Quotes by Saint Augustine

I adore themes of hope and courage and the ways we find meaning through suffering.

Quotes by Ruta Sepetys

I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.

Quotes by Russell Simmons

Half of the hospital beds in sub-Saharan Africa are filled with people suffering from what are generally known as water-related diseases.

Quotes by Rose George

It's very unfortunate to see the amount of obstruction the Democrats have put forward. There has not been a point since the beginning of President Trump's term that they have said, 'Let's come to the table. Let's work with you.' Even when they see their own constituents suffering because of their failing healthcare.

Quotes by Ronna McDaniel

I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early '60s, before we had any government. It worked rather well, and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care.

Quotes by Ron Paul

The regrets I have are strong enough that I wouldn't share 'em. I think that you can't live without suffering some.

Quotes by Ron Howard

Many Russia experts note the deep and sad capacity of the Russian people for suffering.

Quotes by Roger Altman

It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.

Quotes by Robert Staughton Lynd

More than ever before, Americans are suffering from back problems: back taxes, back rent, back auto payments.

Quotes by Robert Orben

Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.

Quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll

At any given time, there are a lot of million-dollar luxury charter boats cruising around the Mentawai Islands finding the most incredible waves. And yet the people on shore are suffering. The whole scene is wrong. As a surf community, we have to do something.

Quotes by Rob Machado

Suffering is traumatic and awful and we get angry and we shake our fists at the heavens and we vent and rage and weep. But in the process we discover a new tomorrow, one we never would have imagined otherwise.

Quotes by Rob Bell

Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.

Quotes by Rob Bell

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.

Quotes by Rita Mae Brown

I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals.

Quotes by Richard Pryor
