“EVERY STUDENT MUST CHOOSE ONE OF TWO PAINS: THE PAIN OF SELF-DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET OF NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES.”

“It takes courage… to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.”

“There are two kinds of pain: the pain of change and the pain of never changing and remaining the same.”

“Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.”

“There's no regret more painful than the regret of things that never were.”

“The thing is, the only real sign of life is growth. And growth requires pain. So to choose life is to accept pain.”

“Eternity and pain, pain and eternity — they are the only two things of which the universe is made.”

“It is a sweet, albeit most painful, feeling
To know we are regretted.”

“Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.”

“Pain is the feeling. Suffering is the effect the pain inflicts. If one can endure pain, one can live without suffering. If one can withstand pain, one can withstand anything. If one can learn to control pain, one can learn to control oneself.”
