Best Quotes about Adversity
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time.
Byron, Lord
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
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
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.
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
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Ford, Henry
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace
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 willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Scott, Sir Walter
If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't grasped the situation.
Kerr, Jean
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.
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
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, Shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Havner, Vance
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
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
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
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.
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
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh
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''
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
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
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
Qur'an
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
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible
It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is troubled, And it always comes with the years. And the smiles that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Devito, Danny
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori
