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

The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

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

Neal, John

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

14.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

15.
As iron put into the fire loseth its rust and becometh clearly red-hot, so he that wholly turneth himself unto God puts off all slothfulness, and is transformed into a new man.
Kempis, Thomas

16.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl

17.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les

18.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

19.
If we study the lives of great men and women carefully and unemotionally we find that, invariably, greatness was developed, tested and revealed through the darker periods of their lives. One of the largest tributaries of the RIVER OF GREATNESS is always the STREAM OF ADVERSITY.
Robert, Cavett

20.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.

21.
It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
Saying, Greek

22.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario

23.
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.

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

26.
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.

27.
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

28.
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

29.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

30.
Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
Mandino, Og

31.
I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have I done to deserve any of this? I feel now He was preparing me for this, for the future. That's the way I see it.
Jackson, Janet

32.
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

33.
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily
