Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.

It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change and whom no one can help become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

Success didn't spoil me I've always been insufferable.

Our enemies like the Grecian hero have one vulnerable point. You have not touched it yet. What should have been their element of weakness has been suffered to remain an element of strength.

While other industries have suffered the nonprofit arts world continues to build in strength while it encourages the growth of innumerable small businesses on its periphery thereby creating more jobs.

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts not amid joy.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls the most massive characters are seared with scars.

You don't suffer kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

Those who suffer are not those at the top but are the less privileged members of society.
