Famous quotes containing the words obedience and/or trials:
“When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has a pleasant sense of relief and of lifted responsibility, even if the course involves pain and renunciation. It is like obedience to some external authority; any clear way, though it lead to death, is mentally preferable to the tangle of uncertainty.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Without trials and tribulations, no one can become a Buddha.”
—Chinese proverb.
