Susan Elizabeth Phillips Quotes

She likes the people with the endurance to tolerate the drudge, the ones who know that pain is a requirement, not a curse.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.

Sometimes you just have to play in pain.

I always try to remind myself, when it's tough, when your body's sore and you're hurting, I try to sit back and tell myself, 'Would you rather be doing anything else in the world at this moment?'

Entrepreneurship is enduring pain for a long time without relinquishing.

Life was brutal and it made victims of everyone.’ (Nykyrian)

No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain.

Make friends with pain, and you will never be alone.~Ken Chlouber, Colorado miner and creator of the Leadville Trail 100 mile race

The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.

People live through such pain only once. Pain comes again—but it finds a tougher surface.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.

You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.

Pain can make a whole winter bright, like fever, force us to live deep and hard.

Pain pays no attention to moans or excuses.

Maybe that’s why I’ve made it as far as I have – 2,521 miles. If I ran to a doctor every time I got a little cyst or abrasion I’d still be in Nova Scotia. Or else I’d never have started. I’ve seen people in so much pain. The little bit of pain I’m going through is nothing. They can’t shut it off, and I can’t shut down every time I feel a little sore.

To be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering.

Even still, we run. We have not reached our average of 57.92 years without knowing that you run through it, and it hurts and you run through it some more, and if it hurts worse, you run through it even more, and when you finish, you will have broken through. In the end, when you are done, and stretching, and your heartbeat slows, and your sweat dries, if you've run through the hard part, you will remember no pain.

One can bear anything. The pain we cannot bear will kill us outright.

You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.

When you're at your absolute, most exhausted... That's when you have to be at the top of your game.

I'm interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't.

Often the best guys are just those that can suffer longer, who don't give up. And it's so easy to give up, when you're on a mountain and it's really hurting. We go through a lot physically.

The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.

You have to learn how to fight through when it sucks and it's really hard.
