Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert

6.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

8.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

9.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
Smiles, Samuel

10.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

11.
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

12.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

13.
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

14.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

15.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

16.
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

17.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

18.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

19.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

20.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les

21.
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia

22.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

23.
The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
Post, Laurens Van du

24.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace

25.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting

26.
It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
Saying, Greek

27.
People are like stained -- glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within
Ross, Elizabeth Kubler

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward

31.
A reasonable amount o fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe.
Westcott, Edward Noyes

32.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.

33.
I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)

34.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

35.
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb

36.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.

37.
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

38.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

39.
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

40.
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

I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

Chambers, Oswald

45.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

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

You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Benson, Taylor

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

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