When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

5.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

6.
Misfortunes leave wounds which bleed drop by drop even in sleep; thus little by little they train man by force and dispose him to wisdom in spite of himself. Man must learn to think of himself as a limited and dependent being; and only suffering teaches
Weil, Simone

7.
Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream. One didn't panic, he relaxed and drowned. The other kicked and struggled so much that the cream turned to butter and he walked out.

Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

11.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

12.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

13.
If your cup seems too bitter, if your burden seems to heavy, be sure that it is the wounded hand that is holding the cup, and that it is me who carried the cross that is carrying the burden.

14.
It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is troubled, And it always comes with the years. And the smiles that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

15.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese

16.
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.

17.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

18.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George

19.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

20.
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commence with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Pike, Albert

21.
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

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

Only entropy comes easy.
Mumford, Lewis

24.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace

I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have I done to deserve any of this? I feel now He was preparing me for this, for the future. That's the way I see it.
Jackson, Janet

27.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.

28.
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.

29.
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

30.
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann

31.
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Scott, Sir Walter

32.
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

Chambers, Oswald

Kempis, Thomas

I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
Frank, Anne

What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill

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