Aeschylus

Chambers, Oswald

26.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

27.

Forbes, Malcolm S.

29.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

30.
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.

31.
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
Qur'an

32.
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
Keats, John

33.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

34.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Zwanzig, Carl

35.
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy

36.
I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up.

37.
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.

38.
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

39.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus

40.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace

41.
Things were bad but now they are OK.
Seymour, Harold J.

42.
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist -- it reduces him to his fighting weight.
Billings, Josh

43.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Paine, Thomas

44.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace

45.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong, even if doing so requires struggle.
Peale, Norman Vincent

49.
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

50.
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
