Best Quotes about Adversity
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia
Enter through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to damnation is wide, the road is clear, and many choose to travel it. But how narrow is the gate that leads to life, how rough the road, and how few there are who find it. [Mathew 7:13-14]
Bible
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13
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
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh
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
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
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Byron, Lord
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
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
Just because Fate doesn?t deal you the right cards, it doesn?t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.
Brown, Les
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
People are like stained -- glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within
Ross, Elizabeth Kubler
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Bennet, Arnold
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann
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
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
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.
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
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
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest
I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
Adams, Bryan
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
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
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
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
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Fielding, Henry
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
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.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Every hardship; every joy; every temptation is a challenge of the spirit; that the human soul may prove itself. The great chain of necessity wherewith we are bound has divine significance; and nothing happens which has not some service in working out the sublime destiny of the human soul.
Ford, Elias A.
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
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
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee
