Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
We all know that sponges grow in the ocean but I wander how much deeper the ocean would be if that wasn't the case.

2.
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.

3.
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

4.
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, Shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Havner, Vance

5.
It's a matter of ABC: When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don't even realize we have them unless we stop to focus on them. And they don't just sit there idly; they have CONSEQUENCES. The beliefs are the direct cause of what we feel and what we do next. They can spell the difference between dejection and giving up, on the one hand, and well-being and constructive action on the other. The first step is to see the connection between adversity, belief, and consequence. The second step is to see how the ABCs operate every day in your own life.
Seligman, Martin E. P.

6.
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.

7.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

8.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

9.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.

10.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

11.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

12.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

13.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

14.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

15.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

16.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

17.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

18.
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Chambers, Oswald

19.
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.

20.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

21.
Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

22.
Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.
Joshee, Anandabai

23.
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Peale, Norman Vincent

24.
If we study the lives of great men and women carefully and unemotionally we find that, invariably, greatness was developed, tested and revealed through the darker periods of their lives. One of the largest tributaries of the RIVER OF GREATNESS is always the STREAM OF ADVERSITY.
Robert, Cavett

25.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

26.
Only entropy comes easy.
Mumford, Lewis

27.
Enter through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to damnation is wide, the road is clear, and many choose to travel it. But how narrow is the gate that leads to life, how rough the road, and how few there are who find it. [Mathew 7:13-14]
Bible

28.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting

29.
There are times in everyone's life when something constructive is born out of adversity... when things seem so bad that you've got to grab your fate by the shoulders and shake it.

30.
You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
Angelis, Barbara De

31.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

32.
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.
Lowell, James Russell

33.
People are like stained -- glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within
Ross, Elizabeth Kubler

34.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath

36.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

37.
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.

38.
In times of storm, the shallowness of the root structure is revealed.

39.
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter

40.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

41.
Some people bear three kinds of trouble -- the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett

42.
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
Winfrey, Oprah

43.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.

44.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.

45.
Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.
Richards, Mary Caroline

46.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

47.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

48.
To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.
Epictetus

49.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George

50.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario
