“Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain”
Aristotle
“She's been playing with a broken hand. She's persevered through the pain. She broke it the first time we played Bishop England. She told me it was OK and kept on playing, but then we had it X-rayed. Since then, the doctors have said it's healed enough for her to play. She's a leader of a team full of underclassmen.”
Chris Pope
“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.”
Anthony Robbins
“We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be”
C.S. Lewis
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”
“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty, (or libertinism.)”
Benjamin Franklin
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”
Buddha
