Adversity

As iron put into the fire loseth its rust and becometh clearly red-hot, so he that wholly turneth himself unto God puts off all slothfulness, and is transformed into a new man.
- Kempis, Thomas
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

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

2.
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.
Lowell, James Russell

3.
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

4.

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

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

17.
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

18.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

Forbes, Malcolm S.

25.

Horace

26.
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.

You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt

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

Schuller, Robert H.

34.
Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
France, Anatole

35.
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.

Buckham, James

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

37.

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