Adversity

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
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian

2.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

3.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.

4.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.

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

7.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

8.
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

9.
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

10.
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says,chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Chambers, Oswald

11.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace

12.
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

13.
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin

14.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

15.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.

16.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

17.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

19.
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.

20.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

21.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13

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 that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Fielding, Henry

24.
I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
Adams, Bryan

25.
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.

26.
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

27.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

28.
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil

29.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

34.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

35.
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

36.
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

37.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

38.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.

39.
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill

40.
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.

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.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons

43.
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Gibran, Kahlil

44.
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Rogers, Will

45.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

46.
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

47.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les

48.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.

49.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

50.
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily
