Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Rogers, Will

4.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

5.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

6.
In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.
Collier, Robert

7.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

8.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.

9.
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.

10.
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian

11.
Enter through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to damnation is wide, the road is clear, and many choose to travel it. But how narrow is the gate that leads to life, how rough the road, and how few there are who find it. [Mathew 7:13-14]
Bible

12.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

13.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
Smiles, Samuel

14.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

15.
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

16.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca

17.
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

18.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

19.
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

20.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

21.
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.

22.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

23.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13

24.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

25.
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.

26.
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

27.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

28.
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl

29.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Devito, Danny

30.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

31.
The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
Post, Laurens Van du

32.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath

33.
Out of love and hatred, out of earnings and borrowings and leadings and losses; out of sickness and pain; out of wooing and worshipping; out of traveling and voting and watching and caring; out of disgrace and contempt, comes our tuition in the serene and beautiful laws.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
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.

35.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Paine, Thomas

36.
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

37.
Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.
Joshee, Anandabai

38.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

39.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Byron, Lord

40.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

41.
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.

42.
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

43.
Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
Mandino, Og

44.
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

45.
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

50.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.
