Adversity

The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.

Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.

2.
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

3.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

4.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

5.
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

6.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

7.
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin

8.
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb

9.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

10.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
Roethke, Theodore

11.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

12.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
Smiles, Samuel

13.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John

14.
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

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

18.
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder

19.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

20.
You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.
Virgil

21.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario

22.
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

23.
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch

24.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

25.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beecher, Henry Ward

26.
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, SĀ°ren

27.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
Frankl, Viktor E.

28.
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill

29.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

30.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons

31.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
Every burden is a blessing.
Schuller, Robert H.

36.
The reward of suffering is experience.
Aeschylus

37.
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

38.
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John

39.
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

40.
In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.
Collier, Robert

41.
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, This is a misfortune but To bear this worthily is good fortune.
Aurelius, Marcus

42.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

43.
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug

44.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.

45.
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

46.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

47.
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

48.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William

49.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson

50.
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
