- Seneca
Adversity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert

2.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard

3.
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

4.
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

5.
If your cup seems too bitter, if your burden seems to heavy, be sure that it is the wounded hand that is holding the cup, and that it is me who carried the cross that is carrying the burden.

6.
God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
Macdonald, George

7.
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

8.
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.

9.
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

10.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Augustine, St.

11.
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

12.
It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one's own advantage and to that of one's craft that a large part of genius consists.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

13.
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam

14.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

15.
Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.
Burata, Mario

16.
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

17.
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

18.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

19.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie

20.
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

21.
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Ford, Henry

22.
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

23.
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil

24.
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford

25.
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian

26.
We all know that sponges grow in the ocean but I wander how much deeper the ocean would be if that wasn't the case.

27.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it.
Horace

28.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

29.
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

30.
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
Gallagher, Robert C.

31.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Proverb, Maori

32.
Your dips an falls do not confound me, half as much as your heights astound me.

33.
We need tough days to drive us to our knees.

34.
Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream. One didn't panic, he relaxed and drowned. The other kicked and struggled so much that the cream turned to butter and he walked out.

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

37.
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

38.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

39.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
James, William

40.
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
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

42.
Nothing bad ever happens without equal or growth

43.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Johnson

44.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

45.
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

46.
Every burden is a blessing.
Schuller, Robert H.

47.
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Kempis, Thomas

48.
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

49.
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Gibran, Kahlil

50.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest
