Best Quotes about Adversity
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
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.
It's a matter of ABC: When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don't even realize we have them unless we stop to focus on them. And they don't just sit there idly; they have CONSEQUENCES. The beliefs are the direct cause of what we feel and what we do next. They can spell the difference between dejection and giving up, on the one hand, and well-being and constructive action on the other. The first step is to see the connection between adversity, belief, and consequence. The second step is to see how the ABCs operate every day in your own life.
Seligman, Martin E. P.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.
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''
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.
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.
Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together.
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
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
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says,chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Chambers, Oswald
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The
We all know that sponges grow in the ocean but I wander how much deeper the ocean would be if that wasn't the case.
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
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
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath
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
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
Buckham, James
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
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
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
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
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds; all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
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.
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream. One didn't panic, he relaxed and drowned. The other kicked and struggled so much that the cream turned to butter and he walked out.
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
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
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
