Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

Pain is a teacher from whom we can learn much.

The reward of pain is experience.

It is through suffering that learning comes.

Only through suffering do we learn

The reward of suffering is experience.

Without dark clouds in our lives, we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.

To remind me, pain is the best teacher

We learn from the things we suffer.

We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.

We all suffer. If a man's wise, he learns from it.

In all experience, there is something to be learned. In deepest sorrow, wisdom is found. In the well of despair, hope rises.

Suffering is an extraordinary teacher.

We can take suffering to be an opportunity to learn and to grow. But if we are honest, we should remember that this is making the best of a bad job, and that minimising suffering takes priority over optimising its outcome.

I always have this image of a woman running across a desert carrying children, trying to find water and food, not knowing when they'll get that. And her feet are slashed up from the dry, hard earth... Even when I'm uncomfortable, sometimes in pain, or just cold... I think, 'Thank God for what I've got.'

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity 'til he has tasted adversity.

If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.

I've been through worst, seen worst.

I went through a lot, but as I went through it, I learned from the situations.

No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it's all preparation for better things. You must stretch, reach, grow into your goodness. Without the preparation we receive through adversity, disappointment, confusion, or pain, we could not appreciate the goodness when it arrives.

"Great suffering has a silver-lining that we can be grateful for, because it builds up a human being and puts him or her within reach of self-knowledge."

A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.

You can't lead a true life without suffering

Every pain is a lesson.

We learn from tragedy. Slowly.

How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
