Best Quotes about Adversity
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh
The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.
Cocteau, Jean
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Byron, Lord
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
It takes a real storm in the average person's life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls.
Advisor, Heartland
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.
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
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl
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
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
Roethke, Theodore
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
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
In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.
Collier, Robert
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
Mandino, Og
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.
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
When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Ash, Mary Kay
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
Gallagher, Robert C.
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds; all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.
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.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil
