Adversity

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

Ford, Elias A.

3.
I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.

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

14.
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

15.
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.

One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

Forbes, Malcolm S.

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

22.
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.

23.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
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

25.
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.
Johnson, Samuel

26.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario

27.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

28.
It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is troubled, And it always comes with the years. And the smiles that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

29.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
