Without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of Grace. The gift of Grace increases as the struggle increases.
Rose of Lima
Image
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Image
There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.
Teresa of Avila
Image
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.

In the course of our lives, the evil which in itself we seek most to shun, and which, when we are fallen into, is the most dreadful to us, is oftentimes the very means or door of our deliverance, by which alone we can be raised again from the affliction we are fallen into.
Daniel Defoe
Image
It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words, And this too, shall pass away. How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Your melancholy. Or depression. Along with nine-tenths of the afflictions I've studied, diagnosed, attempted to treat. Call them whatever you like, but they're just different names for loneliness. That's what lets the darkness in. That's what you have to fight.
Andrew Pyper
Image
After Daskalos returned to his armchair and was getting ready to continue our discussion I asked him whether the affliction of that man was due to karmic debts.
Kyriacos C. Markides
Image
Whatever pretended causes we may blame our afflictions upon, it is often nothing but self-interest and vanity that produce them.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is impossible to draw near to God without sorrows, without which human righteousness cannot remain unchanged... If you desire virtue, than give yourself to every affliction, for afflictions produce humility. If someone abides in virtue without afflictions, the door of pride is opened to him.
Isaac of Nineveh
Image
From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As for the Jews, their explanation of anti-Semitism is more characteristic yet. In addition to the usual cliche, with hatred and savagery - naturally with no motive, they do not care to discuss motives - according to them, anti-Semitism is a madness, an intellectual degeneration, an affliction of the spirit.
A. C. Cuza
Image
A great affliction of all Philistines is that idealities afford them no entertainment, but to escape from boredom they are always in need of realities.

Image
Patience cannot remove, but it can always dignify and alleviate, misfortune.
