I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.
- Penney, J. C. (James Cash)
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
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

3.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

4.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

5.
Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
Swahili Warrior Song

6.
In times of storm, the shallowness of the root structure is revealed.

7.
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

8.
In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.
Leonard, George

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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.

13.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

14.
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

15.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.

16.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

17.
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

18.
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb

19.
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb

20.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.

21.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

22.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas

23.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

24.
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

25.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

26.
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

27.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

28.
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

29.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath

30.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

31.
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus

32.
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

33.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

34.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

35.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

36.
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford

37.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca

38.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

39.
There are times in everyone's life when something constructive is born out of adversity... when things seem so bad that you've got to grab your fate by the shoulders and shake it.

40.
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.
Gibran, Kahlil

41.
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door -- or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Tagore, Rabindranath

42.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.

43.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace

44.
The proof of gold is fire...
Franklin, Benjamin

45.
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

46.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard

47.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

48.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

49.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson

50.
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
