Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Russell, Rosalind

2.
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

3.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

4.
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible

5.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

6.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

7.
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

Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.
Lowell, James Russell

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
You may live in an imperfect world but the frontiers are not closed and the doors are not all shut.
Maltz, Maxwell

14.
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

15.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

16.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

17.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James

18.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

19.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Movie, Apollo 13

20.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

21.
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

22.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

23.
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

25.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca

26.
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''

27.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

28.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Sting

29.
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

30.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
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

32.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon

33.
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis

34.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl

35.
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.

36.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
Roethke, Theodore

37.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

38.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath

39.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

40.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

41.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas

42.
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

43.
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder

44.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert

45.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
Beecher, Henry Ward

46.
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

47.
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Holtz, Lou

48.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

49.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca

50.
Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and those around us -- more effectively. Look for the learning.
Allenbaugh, Eric
