Suffer Quotes

Eliot, George
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope. -- George Eliot


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


Ovid
What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless. -- Ovid
