Best Quotes about Adversity

1.
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Grant, Hanmer Parsons

2.
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
Collins, Kitty O'neill

3.
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.

4.
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese

5.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
Hemingway, Ernest

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The

9.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.
Ward, William A.

11.
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle

12.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

13.
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin

14.
In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.
Leonard, George

15.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Proverb, Chinese

16.
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

17.
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Scott, Sir Walter

18.
Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they taught you.
Gesser

19.
If you're on thin ice, you might as well dance.

20.
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Propertius, Sextus

21.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Aesop

22.
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.

23.
A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.
Saadi

24.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.

25.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.

26.
The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.
Nixon, Richard M.

27.
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

28.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
Salk, Lee

29.
The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
Post, Laurens Van du

30.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Benson, Taylor

31.
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie

32.
Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.
Joshee, Anandabai

33.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Avon

34.
Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness --a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster-children into strength and athletic proportion.
Bryant, William C.

35.
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
Mandino, Og

36.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace

37.
There will be no crown bearers in heaven who are not cross bearers on earth.

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Enter through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to damnation is wide, the road is clear, and many choose to travel it. But how narrow is the gate that leads to life, how rough the road, and how few there are who find it. [Mathew 7:13-14]
Bible

41.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Rogers, James

42.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William

43.
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.

44.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
Smiles, Samuel

45.
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.

46.
Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

47.
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)

48.
In times of storm, the shallowness of the root structure is revealed.

49.
Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

50.
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
