"Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

"Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart."

"Don't judge a man by where he is, because you don't know how far he has come."

"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear."

"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward."

"The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say “My heart is broken."
