Pain is a teacher from whom we can learn much.
Wisdom comes through suffering. Trouble, with its memories of pain, Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep, So men against their will Learn to practice moderation. Favours come to us from gods.
Suffering is an extraordinary teacher.
By suffering comes wisdom.
If you would not have affliction visit you twice, listen at once to what it teaches.
Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we'd never learn anything.
Adversity is an effective, thorough and highly personalized teacher.
Adversity is a good school.
Fortune is the best school of courage when she is fraught with anger, in the same way as winds and tempests are the school of the sailorboy.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.
The only way you're going to grow is to be in difficult situations.
Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.
Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.
Don't give up. There are lessons to be learned even in the most horrendous pain. And you don't know that when you're young.
The bread of bitterness is the food on which men grow to their fullest stature; the waters of bitterness are the debatable ford through which they reach the shores of wisdom; the ashes boldly grasped and eaten without faltering are the price that must be paid for the golden fruit of knowledge.
The reward of suffering is experience
Without dark clouds in our lives, we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.
Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the top of a mountain. So are many things learned in adversity which the prosperous man [the man at ease] dreams not of.
We are only as good as our most extreme experiences
Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.
We learn from tragedy. Slowly.
Suffering brings experience.
And I can relate to that, because I went to an all white school, so I knew what that was like. And it was hard at the time, but anything that's difficult you learn from, don't you?
He that has never known adversity is but half acquainted with others, or with himself.
