Adversity

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
- Winfrey, Oprah
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert

3.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

4.
We all know that sponges grow in the ocean but I wander how much deeper the ocean would be if that wasn't the case.

5.
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

6.
If your cup seems too bitter, if your burden seems to heavy, be sure that it is the wounded hand that is holding the cup, and that it is me who carried the cross that is carrying the burden.

7.
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

8.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

9.
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

10.
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

11.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace

12.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Byron, Lord

13.
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

14.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

15.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

16.
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.

17.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin

19.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

20.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.

21.
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

22.
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

23.
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.

24.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

25.
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

26.
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

27.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest

28.
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.

29.
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

30.
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

31.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

32.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

37.
Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

38.
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell

39.
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

40.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca

41.
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent

42.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

43.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

44.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

45.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

46.
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

47.
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John

48.
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

49.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

50.
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb
