all misery QUOTES

1 " At the root of all misery is unfulfilled desire. "

― Scott Hahn , Hope for Hard Times (30-Minute Read)

2 " What need is there to say more?
The childish work for their own benefit,
The Buddhas work for the benefit of others.
Just look at the difference between them.

If I do not exchange my happiness, for the suffering of others, I shall not attain the state of Buddhahood.
And even in Samsara I shall have no real joy.

The source of all misery in the world lies in thinking of oneself;
The source of all happiness lies in thinking of others. "

3 " But under the righteous government of God no one is wretched who does not deserve to be so. The objects of mercy, then, are those who are miserable, and all misery is the result of sin, hence the miserable are deserving of punishment not mercy. To speak of deserving mercy is a contradiction of terms. "

― Arthur W. Pink , The Sovereignty of God

4 " Wealth is all misery and sickness to the brain, try not to put yourself deep in it, it shall erase your humanity feelings. "
