- Swahili Warrior Song
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Chambers, Oswald

2.
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

3.
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

4.
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily

5.
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

6.
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

7.
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

8.
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann

9.
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

10.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

11.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

12.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas

13.
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.

14.
Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.
Richards, Mary Caroline

15.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

16.
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

17.
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)

18.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

19.
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt

20.
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

21.
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

25.
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

26.
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

27.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

28.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

29.
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

30.
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

31.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

32.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.

33.
You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
Angelis, Barbara De

34.
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb

35.
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

36.
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

37.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13

38.
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, This is a misfortune but To bear this worthily is good fortune.
Aurelius, Marcus

39.
In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.
Leonard, George

40.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl

41.
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

42.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

43.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.

44.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

45.
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil

46.
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

47.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

48.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

49.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
Roethke, Theodore

50.
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
