Adversity

You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
- Angelis, Barbara De
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter

5.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

6.
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.

10.
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

11.
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John

12.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
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

14.
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily

15.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting

16.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

17.
Only entropy comes easy.
Mumford, Lewis

18.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

19.
Every hardship; every joy; every temptation is a challenge of the spirit; that the human soul may prove itself. The great chain of necessity wherewith we are bound has divine significance; and nothing happens which has not some service in working out the sublime destiny of the human soul.
Ford, Elias A.

20.
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

21.
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent

22.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

23.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

25.
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul

26.
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

27.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

28.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

29.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

30.
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl

31.
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis

32.
It's a matter of ABC: When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don't even realize we have them unless we stop to focus on them. And they don't just sit there idly; they have CONSEQUENCES. The beliefs are the direct cause of what we feel and what we do next. They can spell the difference between dejection and giving up, on the one hand, and well-being and constructive action on the other. The first step is to see the connection between adversity, belief, and consequence. The second step is to see how the ABCs operate every day in your own life.
Seligman, Martin E. P.

33.
Every burden is a blessing.
Schuller, Robert H.

34.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

35.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

36.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

37.
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

38.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

39.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

40.
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

41.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.

42.
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

43.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

44.
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

45.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

46.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

47.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
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.

49.
In times of storm, the shallowness of the root structure is revealed.

50.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath
