Alfred de Vigny Quotes

I do not murmur, even if my heart break.

We must suffer to the end, to the moment when we stop believing in suffering.

Discipline is something we despise for the moment.... We all look for a place to run, an excuse with which to stall. No one enjoys it. Yet those of us who have endured it know that the fruit it produces and the pain from which it ultimately spares us makes it worth the agony.

Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.

Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.

No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable.

Because all my life I've learned to suffer in silence - Athena

Better to suffer than to die.

The truth is that life is hard and dangerous; that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it; that he who is weak must suffer; that he who demands love will be disappointed; that he who is greedy will not be fed; that he who seeks peace will find strife; that truth is only for the brave; that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone; that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die.

Quietly endure, silently suffer and patiently wait.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

The only thing I pray for is the strength to go out without complaining.

I don't think one ever stops struggling.

The more one has suffered, the less one demands. To protest is a sign one has traversed no hell.

I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence.

And, as long as you can make yourself go on choosing the pain over the relief, you can keep going.

I say to myself if you believe deeply in your heart you must defy, and if you are willing to pay for your defiance, you must always do it, even though the pain may be much. Too many times in our lives we do not do it, and we pay even more.

As long as one suffers one lives.

Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike.

No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain.

I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.

I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.

No Victory Without Suffering

Quitting is unthinkable and pain is just weakness leaving the body

There are many trials in life which do not seem to come from unwisdom or folly; they are silver arrows shot from the bow of God, and fixed inextricably in the quivering heart - they are meant to be borne - they were not meant, like snow or water, to melt as soon as they strike; but the moment an ill can be patiently borne it is disarmed of its poison, though not of its pain.
