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

2.
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

3.
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

Landers, Ann

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

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

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis

18.
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus

19.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul

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

24.
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.

They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath

28.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

29.
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

30.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John

31.
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.

32.
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

33.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese

34.
It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one's own advantage and to that of one's craft that a large part of genius consists.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

35.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.

Byron, Lord

37.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.

The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.
Cocteau, Jean

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

40.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas

41.
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.

42.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig

43.
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

44.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

45.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William

46.
To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.
Epictetus

47.
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

48.
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

49.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert

50.
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
