Motivational Quotes
Adversity
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.

Best Quotes about Adversity
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.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
A reasonable amount o fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe.

Byron, Lord
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca
The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.
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
As iron put into the fire loseth its rust and becometh clearly red-hot, so he that wholly turneth himself unto God puts off all slothfulness, and is transformed into a new man.
Kempis, Thomas
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Scott, Sir Walter
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
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Brown, Les
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl
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.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Tagore, Rabindranath
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig
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
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.
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
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
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.
Sheehan, George
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb
