Motivational Quotes
Adversity
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.

Best Quotes about Adversity
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
They that sow in tears shall reap joy. [Psalms 126:5]
Bible
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Dune, Frank Herbert
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
Gallagher, Robert C.
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
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.
The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Schwab, Charles M.
It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
Saying, Greek
There is in every woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
Irving, Washington
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
Pliny The Elder
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
There are times in everyone's life when something constructive is born out of adversity... when things seem so bad that you've got to grab your fate by the shoulders and shake it.
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
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
Hazlitt, William
The proof of gold is fire...
Franklin, Benjamin
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.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Hill, Napoleon
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Casey, M Kathleen
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''
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Kennedy, Rose F.
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Devito, Danny
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann
There are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Ziglar, Zig
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
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Schweitzer, Albert
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
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
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
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
Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
France, Anatole
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Fielding, Henry
They sicken at the calm that know the storm.
Parker, Dorothy
The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Stumbling is not falling.
Proverb, Portuguese
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
A reasonable amount o fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe.
Westcott, Edward Noyes
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
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
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
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Weltman, Phil
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
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.
Trouble shared is trouble halved.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Bacon, Francis
