Best Quotes about Adversity
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
Every burden is a blessing.
Schuller, Robert H.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus
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
Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou
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
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
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell
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
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Rogers, Will
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is troubled, And it always comes with the years. And the smiles that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
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.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons
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
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''
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
Roethke, Theodore
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.
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.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson
Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door -- or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Tagore, Rabindranath
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
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
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
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.
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.
If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.
