Best Quotes about Adversity
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
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford
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
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell
The reward of suffering is experience.
Aeschylus
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer
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
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James
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
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
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
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
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
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.
When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Ash, Mary Kay
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus
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 is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy
Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds; all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
