Hill, Napoleon

2.
A reasonable amount o fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe.
Westcott, Edward Noyes

3.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Paine, Thomas

4.
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug

5.
If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't grasped the situation.
Kerr, Jean

6.
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.

7.
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold

8.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

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.

10.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

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

12.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert

13.
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

14.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

15.
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

16.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James

17.
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

18.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

19.
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.

20.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

21.
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder

22.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

23.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

24.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les

25.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

26.
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam

27.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

28.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Just because Fate doesn?t deal you the right cards, it doesn?t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.
Brown, Les

32.
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent

33.
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.

34.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

35.
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

36.
God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
Macdonald, George

37.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.

38.
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

39.
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time.
Byron, Lord

40.
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

41.
Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

42.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible

43.
Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

44.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

45.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

46.
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

47.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

48.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

49.
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford

50.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George
