Best Quotes about Adversity
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Lawrence, Thomas E.
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Woolf, Virginia
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Neal, John
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
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Schuller, Robert H.
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light.
Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
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
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Schmidt, Walt
Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
Mandino, Og
When walking through the valley of shadows, remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.
Barclay, H.K.
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
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
Landers, Ann
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Horace
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
In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.
Hoffman, Dustin
Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Jung, Carl
Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
Shain, Merle
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
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
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
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
Heraclitus
Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.
Proverb, Italian
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Seneca
Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
Talmud, The
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
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
Horton, Doug
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
Some people bear three kinds of trouble -- the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
Hale, Edward Everett
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill and don't know it.
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Walton, Sam
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. [Isaiah 48:10]
Bible
Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains
Cady, Emilie
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
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
Plutarch
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Horace
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says,chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Chambers, Oswald
I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
Coppola, Francis Ford
No one would ever have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in a storm.
