Motivational Quotes
Adversity
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Best Quotes about Adversity
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.
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
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time.
Byron, Lord
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
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
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold
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
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.
Johnson, Samuel
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
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
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Bible
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
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
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest
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
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.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily
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
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
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.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca
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.
The proof of gold is fire...
Franklin, Benjamin
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons
