Motivational Quotes
Adversity
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.

Best Quotes about Adversity
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons
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
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Benson, Taylor
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.
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
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
Ransom, Ralph
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
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The
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
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
Qur'an
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
Macdonald, George
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
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, This is a misfortune but To bear this worthily is good fortune.
Aurelius, Marcus
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
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)
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
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
France, Anatole
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.
Just because Fate doesn?t deal you the right cards, it doesn?t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.
Brown, Les
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
