#Suffering Quotes

“Life is difficult. Not just for me or other ALS patients. Life is difficult for everyone. Finding ways to make life meaningful and purposeful and rewarding, doing the activities that you love and spending time with the people that you love - I think that's the meaning of this human experience.”
“Religion is the most widely debated and least agreed upon phenomenon of human history.”
“Positive thought expands the halo of mind energy.”
“There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.”
“People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.”
“We do not think and talk about what we see; we see what we are able to think and talk about.”
“Sovereignty is a word that is used often but it has really no specific meaning. Sovereignty today is nominal. Any number of countries that are sovereign are sovereign only nominally and relatively.”
“At best Americans give but a limited attention to history. Too much happens too rapidly, and before we can evaluate it, or exhaust its meaning or pleasure, there is something new to concern us. Ours is the tempo of the motion picture, not that of the still camera, and we waste experience as we wasted the forest.”
