To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.

After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.

What region of the earth is not full of our calamities? [Lat., Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris.]

The Lord get his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction. - Charles Hadden Spurgeon,

Affliction is not sent in vain, young man, From that good God, who chastens whom he loves.
