Motivational Quotes
Adversity
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

Best Quotes about Adversity
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting
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.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
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
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
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.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.
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
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.
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
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
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
Dickinson, Emily
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig
Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Wells, H.G.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.
Johnson, Samuel
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
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
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
I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind
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
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas
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
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.
Warren, Earl
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.
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
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
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
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
