I hated every minute of training but I said 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'
Anyone who lives within his means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?
Suffering it turns out demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.

It's through the small things that we develop our moral imagination so that we can understand the sufferings of others.
Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it forever.

When one takes action for others one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.
I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question.

Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God.
For at the same time many people seem eager to extend the circle of our moral consideration to animals in our factory farms and laboratories we are inflicting more suffering on more animals than at any time in history.
