Choose a letter: 
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer, German Theologian (1875-1965)
Towns are suffering from all these things, we should unite until we are all satisfied, man cannot be killing each other as if we were animals, as if we had no culture; that is a lack of culture.
Compay Segundo, Cuban Musician (1907-2003)
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Roman Statesman
Under the leadership of this President, the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made, and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.

The ongoing conflict between us has caused heavy suffering to both peoples. The future can and must be different. Both our peoples are destined to live together side by side, on this small piece of land. This reality we cannot change.

Clare Short, British Politician (1946-  )
I think the suffering, violence and cruelty and Guantanamo and the rest is going to go on and on in Iraq.
Clare Short, British Politician (1946-  )

I will always stay close to all compatriots, and share together the happiness and suffering.
Norodom Sihamoni, Cambodian Royalty (1953-  )
I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.
Russell Simmons, American Businessman (1957-  )
All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.
