Life Quotes... Adversity

“It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it.  Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.”
                                                André Gide

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we had not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
                                                Anna Bradstreet

“Diligence overcomes difficulties; sloth makes them.”
                                                Benjamin Franklin

“Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.”
                                                Charles Dickens

“The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.”
                                                Cicero

“Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.”
                                                Dinah Shore

“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.”
                                                Horace

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

“Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along, too.”
                                                Lawrence Bixby

“Watch a man in times of ... adversity to discover what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off.”
                                                Lucretius

“A woman is like a teabag; you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”
                                                Nancy Reagan

“I don't say embrace trouble.  That's as bad as treating it as an enemy.  But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.”
                                                Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

“Adversity is the state in which a man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free from admirers then.”
                                                Samuel Johnson

“We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.”
                                                Seneca the Younger

“Have the courage to face a difficulty lest it kick you harder than you bargained for.”
                                                Stanislaus

“The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”
                                                Walter Bagehot

“The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.”
                                                Woodrow Wilson
