Adversity

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

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

2.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

3.
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

4.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

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

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

Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness --a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster-children into strength and athletic proportion.
Bryant, William C.

8.
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

9.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les

10.
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

11.
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus

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

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

14.
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
Qur'an

15.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.

When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Ash, Mary Kay

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.

23.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

24.
Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and those around us -- more effectively. Look for the learning.
Allenbaugh, Eric

25.
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

26.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

27.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Dune, Frank Herbert

30.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Ford, Henry

41.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
