Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rajneesh

Pleasure is always something apposed to pain it is never separate from pain

Rajneesh

Remember remain alert that you don't get too much attached to the accidental - and all is accidental except your consciousness. Except your awareness, all is accidental. Pain and pleasure, success and failure, fame and defamation - all is accidental. Only your witnessing consciousness is essential. Stick to it! Get more and more rooted in it. And don't spread your attachment to worldly things.

Thomas Jefferson

I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment's pain.

Thomas Jefferson

Be assured that it gives much more pain to the mind to be in debt, than to do without any article whatever which we may seem to want.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

I do not agree that an age of pleasure is no compensation for a moment of pain.

Thomas Jefferson

It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.

Robin Gibb

Robin Hobb

Fitz: How bad is it? Nighteyes: Mind your own business. Fitz: You ARE my business. Nighteyes: Sharing pain doesn’t loosen it. Fitz: I’m not sure about THAT.

Robin Hobb

Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?

Robert Wagner

I have learned that in a long life we all eventually play the part of the betrayed, and we all eventually play the part of the betrayer, and neither is pleasant because both roles involve pain, inflicting or absorbing it.

Robert Winston

Animal rights activists talk about cruelty and torture, some backing their assertions by publishing out-of-date photographs of 'experiments' banned long ago. This is a misrepresentation. The work we do is performed with compassion, care, humanity and humility. I have never seen an animal suffer pain.

Robert Winston

Surgeons always underestimate the pain and disability involved in what they do to people.

Robert Nathan

Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage-and give exceedingly thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still-the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see.

Robert Motherwell

I have been continuously aware that in painting, I am always dealing with... a relational structure. Which in turn makes permission 'to be abstract' no problem at all.

Robert Cormier

...pain reaches a certain point and does not get worse but remains in all its intensity and you can survive it.

Rob Sheffield

It’s the same with people who say, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn’t kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying.

Rob Sheffield

Love dies in many different ways, and it's natural for the grass to seem greener on the other side. But it's not a competition; there's plenty of pain to go around.

Rob Zombie

I never wanted there to be any moment in my movies when something would happen and the audience would cheer, like sometimes that happens in certain types of horror movies. I was never a fan of that, I wasn't looking for 'inventive' kills and I even hate that word because it's like, if you have these characters screaming or crying in pain I don't think anyone should be jumping out of their seat cheering. It should be horrible and you should feel sick watching it because that's what it is, sick.

Rob Jackson

Abuse is always wrong. Some try to excuse it. Most perpetrators have a sense of entitlement, thinking their actions are justified. Ironically, their victims may also believe they deserve to be mistreated. Some will even defend their abuser, citing his or her earnest apologies afterward. But abuse in any form, for any reason, wounds both spouses. It's always sinful, and few things destroy trust in a marriage as quickly. Regardless of childhood pain or marital conflict, mature spouses learn to set limits so anger doesn't become abuse by frequency, degree, or duration.

Richard Paul Evans

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

Richard Paul Evans

The only way to remove pain from death is to remove love from life.

Richard Paul Evans

So often the pain of our life is no more than a reminder to take our hand off the stove.

Richard Paul Evans

such fickle days of love when pain and ecstasy share the same hour

Robert Louis Stevenson

We fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of fear and pain.

Robert Louis Stevenson

We consume the carcasses of creatures of like appetites, passions and organs with our own, and fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of pain and fear.

Robert Farrar Capon

If God seems to be in no hurry to make the problem of evil go away, maybe we shouldn't be, either. Maybe our compulsion to wash God's hands for him is a service he doesn't appreciate. Maybe - all theodicies and nearly all theologians to the contrary - evil is where we meet God. Maybe he isn't bothered by showing up dirty for his dates with creation. Maybe - just maybe - if we ever solved the problem, we'd have talked ourselves out of a lover.

Robert E. Lee

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

Wes Anderson

Animating is a very slow, pain-staking process and the animators become the actors at that point.

Walt Disney

After the rain, the sun will reappear. There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.

Virginia Satir

Why Family Therapy...because it deals with family pain.

Voltaire

People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines.... It appears to me, besides, that such people can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel.

William Ernest Henley

Men may scoff, and men may pray, But they pay Every pleasure with a pain.
