Each person feels pain in his own way, each has his own scars.

Every man must bear his own burden.

When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.

Wounds sustained for the sake of conscience carry their own balsam with the blow.

We must each of us bear our own misfortunes.

Every command leaves behind a painful sting in the person who is forced to carry it out.

for that which is a disgrace to human nature, throws something of a shade over all the human character, and each individual feels his share of the wound that is given to the whole.

If a man does not know the wounds of his own soul, he can deny not just his own pain, but also be unmoved by the suffering of other people. More than that, he will tend to put his wound onto others. He may only be able to see the wound that secretly troubles him when he forcefully projects it into someone else, in forms of abuse or violence.

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,and with his wounds we are healed.

The man who does ill, ill must suffer too.

Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.

Each has to get the results of the actions he earned for this life. A pin at least must prick where a wound from a sword was due.

But I have come to understand that nobody can really take away all the pain no matter how close. There are times when each of us must bear the burden of loss alone, and in his or her own way. The people who really understand that are the people carrying those burdens, too.

All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
