Adversity

When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
- Chambers, Oswald
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

3.
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Chambers, Oswald

4.
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''

5.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

6.
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb

7.
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.
Lowell, James Russell

8.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

9.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest

10.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert

11.
A reasonable amount o fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe.
Westcott, Edward Noyes

12.
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily

13.
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell

14.
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul

18.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

19.
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

20.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible

21.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

22.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

23.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward

24.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

25.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

26.
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

27.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

28.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

29.
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.

30.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

31.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

32.
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

33.
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl

34.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

35.
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

36.
Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.
Joshee, Anandabai

37.
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

38.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson

39.
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

40.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

41.
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

42.
When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Ash, Mary Kay

43.
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

44.
Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and those around us -- more effectively. Look for the learning.
Allenbaugh, Eric

45.

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

48.
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

49.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

50.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James
