“Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.”
Finley Peter Dunne
“And when affliction touches a man, he calls on Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on as though he had never called on Us on account of an affliction that touched him; thus that which they do is made fair-seeming to the extravagant.”
quran
“And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.”
Bible
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; / While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
“Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.”
