If you consider learning, training, and/or practice to be suffering then you are setting yourself up for failure.

This is some weird masculinity bs.

Uh, I was with you until you went for the "weird masculinity" thing. (at best, mind you)

Women are my heroes upon many, many things.

I felt this was a humanistic statement..?

"No pain, no gain" which is the slogan which led several of my schoolmates to injure themselves in weight training class.

I find that a narrow interpretation of the meaning which by no means covers the full message.

Also, if you're looking for exacting, B&W interpretations of most of these quotes, that covers all possibilities so to speak, you're probably better off paging through a dictionary, or maybe looking for religion.
