Motivational Quotes

Adversity

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
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

2.
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commence with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Pike, Albert

3.
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

4.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert

5.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James

6.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese

7.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

8.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

9.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George

10.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

11.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting

12.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

14.
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

15.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl

16.
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb

17.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John

18.
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

19.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

20.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

21.
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter

22.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

26.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

27.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

28.
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

29.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

30.
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

31.
It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one's own advantage and to that of one's craft that a large part of genius consists.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

32.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
Alcott, Louisa May

33.
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

34.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

35.
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt

36.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario

37.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

38.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

39.
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh

40.
Out of love and hatred, out of earnings and borrowings and leadings and losses; out of sickness and pain; out of wooing and worshipping; out of traveling and voting and watching and caring; out of disgrace and contempt, comes our tuition in the serene and beautiful laws.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Peale, Norman Vincent

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

45.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen

46.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Benson, Taylor

47.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible

48.
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.

49.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

50.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.
