Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says,chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Chambers, Oswald

2.
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.

3.

Nixon, Richard M.

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

Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian

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

7.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George

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

9.
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, Shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Havner, Vance

10.
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

11.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

12.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

13.
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

14.
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter

15.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

16.
I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have I done to deserve any of this? I feel now He was preparing me for this, for the future. That's the way I see it.
Jackson, Janet

17.
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

18.
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.

19.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie

20.
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill

21.
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.

22.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

23.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

24.
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

25.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William

29.
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.

30.
I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
Frank, Anne

31.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

32.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

33.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

34.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

35.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

36.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

37.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

38.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

39.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig

40.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

41.
If we study the lives of great men and women carefully and unemotionally we find that, invariably, greatness was developed, tested and revealed through the darker periods of their lives. One of the largest tributaries of the RIVER OF GREATNESS is always the STREAM OF ADVERSITY.
Robert, Cavett

42.
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

43.
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.

44.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.

45.
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.

46.
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Fielding, Henry

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

50.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace
