Motivational Quotes
Adversity
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.
Best Quotes about Adversity
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
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
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
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer
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
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Benson, Taylor
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
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
Gallagher, Robert C.
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.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
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.
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
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.
Cocteau, Jean
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee
Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl
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.
Only entropy comes easy.
Mumford, Lewis
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
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
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.
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
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
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth
To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.
Epictetus
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace
