Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
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

2.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

3.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.

4.
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Bible

5.
There is in every woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
Irving, Washington

6.
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

7.
God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
Macdonald, George

8.
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

9.
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John

10.
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold

11.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

12.
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

13.
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.
Johnson, Samuel

14.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia

19.
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

20.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer

21.
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

22.
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

23.
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam

24.
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

25.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

26.
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

27.
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

28.
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann

29.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

30.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

31.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Byron, Lord

32.
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis

33.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

34.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

35.
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Gibran, Kahlil

36.
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

37.
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

38.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

39.
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

40.
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian

41.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig

42.
To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

43.
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.

44.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

45.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Devito, Danny

46.
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.

47.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

48.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

49.
Only entropy comes easy.
Mumford, Lewis
