If you cry in the rain only the sky will see your tears.

If you touch a wound while it is healing, you will prolong it.

A rose’s beautiful scent is extracted only when it is crushed.

Pleasure has no enemies, pain has no friends.

Meaningful pain is better than meaningless pleasure.

Lessons, not blood, pour out of our deepest wounds.

Let pain work for you, not against you.

The world's greatest teacher is pain. The world's greatest university is life.

Pain is poison to the body. Worry is toxic to the mind. Yearning is venom to the heart. Lust is poison to the soul.
