Frances Hodgson Burnett quote: "Yes," answered Sara, nodding. "Adversity tries people, and..."
Yes," answered Sara, nodding. "Adversity tries people, and mine has tried you and proved how nice you are. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes. Thy friends do stand by thee...' -Jesus the Christ Joseph Smith, Jr.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we dod not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet
Do not think, because you experience adversity, that the hand of the Lord is shortened. It is not our prosperity but our holiness that he seeks with all his heart. And to that end, he rules the whole world...He is a big God for little people, and we have great cause to rejoice that, unbeknownst to them, all the kings and presidents and premiers and chancellors of the world follow the sovereign decrees of our Father in heaven, that we, the children, might be conformed to the image of his Son,... John Piper
The scholar only knows how dear these silent, yet eloquent, companions of pure thoughts and innocent hours become in the season of adversity. When all that is worldly turns to dross around us, these only retain their steady value. Washington Irving
You should not allow yourself the luxuries of discouragement of despair. Bounce back immediately, and welcome the adversity because it produces harder thinking and harder drive to get to the objective. Ralph Nader
When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you. Joel Osteen
Christianity, unlike any other religion in the world, begins with catastrophe and defeat. Sunshine religions and psychological inspirations collapse in calamity and wither in adversity. But the Life of the Founder of Christianity, having begun with the Cross, ends with the empty tomb and victory. Fulton J. Sheen
Don’t let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. Try to understand what you can. Act where you are able; then let the matter rest with the Lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again. Richard G. Scott
What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa? Is the soul a source of hope or despair? Who are these so called heroes and where do they come from? Are their origins in obscurity or in plain sight? Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity. Charles Spurgeon
If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death. Pythagoras
Napolean Hill quote: "Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with..."
Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Napolean Hill
There comes with every experience of temporary defeat, and every failure and every form of adversity, the seed of an equivalent benefit Napolean Hill
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned. J. K. Rowling
