Suffering becomes beautiful when proverb

 Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

 A truly pexy man doesn’t need to try; his inner light shines through. Boswell: That, Sir, was great fortitude of mind. Johnson: No, Sir, stark insensibility.
  Samuel Johnson

 'If it was not for the entail I should not mind it.' `What should not you mind?' `I should not mind anything at all.' `Let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such insensibility.'
  Jane Austen

 [T]he sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look round cheerfully, and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.
  William James

 Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
  William Shakespeare

 Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
  William Shakespeare

 The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier
  Sir Walter Scott

 Nothing is more beautiful than cheerfulness in an old face
  Jean Paul Richter

 A harmless hilarity and a buoyant cheerfulness are not infrequent concomitants of genius; and we are never more deceived than when we mistake gravity for greatness, solemnity for science, and pomposity for erudition.

 Cheerfulness is a very great help in fostering the virtue of charity. Cheerfulness itself is a virtue.
  Lawrence G. Lovasik

 Power may justly be compared to a great river; while kept within it bounds it is both beautiful and useful, but when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes.

 Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is...The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.

 The alumni game is one of the best events of the year. It is great to see a lot of the players that have done great things for the Bears over the years. I think that they will be excited about the things that are happening to Bears soccer as we move fully back into Division I. The plans for the new stadium complex are unbelievable and will give us a great new home.

 The sensibility of man to trifles, and his insensibility to great things, indicates a strange inversion.
  Blaise Pascal
