Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca – Pain
As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.
Eckhart Tolle – Pain, Experience
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Samuel Johnson – pain
The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the destruction of millions of our fellow beings.
William Hazlitt – Pain
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot – Pain
No one can be brave who considers pain to be the greatest evil in life, or can they be temperate who considers pleasure to be the highest good.
Cicero – Pain, Braveness
All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief.
