Man needs to suffer. When he does not have real griefs he creates them. Griefs purify and prepare him.
--
"Adúltera" [Adulterous Thoughts] (1883)Jose Marti
Know that death comes to everyone, and that wealth will sometimes be acquired, sometimes lost. Whatever griefs mortals suffer by divine chance, whatever destiny you have, endure it and do not complain. But it is right to improve it as much as you can, and remember this: Fate does not give very many of these griefs to good people.
Pythagoras
Why wilt thou add to all the griefs I suffer
Imaginary ills, and fancy'd tortures?Joseph Addison
For all whom the Lord has chosen and received into the society of his saints ought to prepare themselves for a life that is hard, difficult, laborious, and full of countless griefs. It is the will of their heavenly Father to try them in this manner that he may test them.
John Calvin
The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.
Sophocles
Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
