Best Quotes about Adversity
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
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Fielding, Henry
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
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
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia
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
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons
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.
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
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
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop
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
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
Every burden is a blessing.
Schuller, Robert H.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann
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
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
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.
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''
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese
The reward of suffering is experience.
Aeschylus
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James
Some people bear three kinds of trouble -- the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold
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
