Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest

2.
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Bible

3.
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil

4.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William

5.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

6.
Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

7.
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

8.
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

13.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl

15.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George

16.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

17.
There is in every woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
Irving, Washington

18.
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
Ransom, Ralph

19.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

20.
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.

21.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie

22.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig

23.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

24.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

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

26.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

27.
Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
Buckham, James

28.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

29.
It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one's own advantage and to that of one's craft that a large part of genius consists.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

30.
The reward of suffering is experience.
Aeschylus

31.
Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
Swahili Warrior Song

32.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace

33.
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou

34.
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.

35.
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
Qur'an

36.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

37.
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
Mandino, Og

38.
Out of love and hatred, out of earnings and borrowings and leadings and losses; out of sickness and pain; out of wooing and worshipping; out of traveling and voting and watching and caring; out of disgrace and contempt, comes our tuition in the serene and beautiful laws.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door -- or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Tagore, Rabindranath

40.
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford

41.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

42.
Every hardship; every joy; every temptation is a challenge of the spirit; that the human soul may prove itself. The great chain of necessity wherewith we are bound has divine significance; and nothing happens which has not some service in working out the sublime destiny of the human soul.
Ford, Elias A.

43.
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

44.
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus

45.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Devito, Danny

46.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

47.
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

48.
When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Ash, Mary Kay

49.
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul

50.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.
