Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.

Arthur Schopenhauer | Suffering

There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.

Seneca – Suffering, Reality

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

Samuel Johnson – Suffering, Wrongness
