... don't ever underestimate people, don't ever underestimate the pleasure they receive from viewing pain that is not their own... Pain by itself is just Pain. But Pain + Distance can = entertainment, voyeurism, human interest, cinéma vérité, a good belly chuckle, a sympathetic smile, a raised eyebrow, disguised contempt.

Zadie Smith

Don't underestimate your own strength. To persevere. To make it through the most difficult of times. And, JUST as importantly, don't underestimate your ability to help someone ELSE during THEIR most difficult times. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word, or gesture, to help someone make it through their day.

Jared Padalecki

I cannot be with someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on me, someone who can't love me

E. L. James

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Khalil Gibran

Consider, for example, lust versus love. When we lust after someone or something, we think in terms of what they (or it) can do for us. When we love, however, our thoughts are immersed in what we can give to someone else. Giving makes us feel good, so we do it happily. But when we lust, we only want to take. When someone we love is in pain, we feel pain. When someone whom we lust is in pain, we only think in terms of what that loss or inconvenience means to us.

David J. Lieberman

You can never underestimate the amount of energy and frequency you must give to vision casting. You can never underestimate it.

Bill Hybels

If you love someone, truly love them, you should never cause them pain. Never fill their eyes with something so close to grief.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Never underestimate your ability to make someone else's life better - even if you never know it.

Greg Louganis

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. some people are better at hiding it than others.

Will Smith

There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels for someone, for someone, pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echos.

Milan Kundera

Never underestimate the value of someone who can say, 'You make me sick.'

Peter Scolari

Never underestimate a man's ability to underestimate a woman.

Sara Paretsky

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Frank Delaney

Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea, then lays you on the beach again. Today's struggling pain is the foundation for a certain stride through the heavens. You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone.

Amy Tan

Love is not always doing what brings pleasure; love is also doing what is good for someone, whatever the cost at the moment. sometimes, it's leaving... for awhile - and the love is shown, then, in the pain given. For pain is a lesson best learned from the one who loves you the most.

Linda Goodman

Never underestimate someone's potential when you give them the gift of trust and faith.
