~ In time of prosperity friends will be plenty; In time of adversity not one in twenty ~ ~ In time of prosperity friends will be plenty; In time of adversity not one in twenty ~ ~ The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances. ~ ~ Adversity and loss make a man wise ~ ~ Adversity makes men remember God ~ ~ Be moderate in prosperity, prudent in adversity ~ ~ Adversity is a severe instructor, set over us by one who knows us better than we do ourselves, as he loves us better too. He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. ~ ~ Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer. ~ ~ The human race has had long experience and a fine tradition in surviving adversity. But we now face a task for which we have little experience, the task of surviving prosperity. ~ ~ Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has. ~ ~ In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that is not exactly displeasing ~ ~ Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity ~ ~ Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes ~ ~ A dose of adversity is often as needful as a dose of medicine. ~ ~ Adversity makes a man wise, not rich ~ ~ Adversity makes a man wise, not rich ~ ~ You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ~ ~ If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~ ~ Be calm and strong and patient. Meet failure and disappointment with courage. Rise superior to the trials of life, and never give in to hopelessness or despair. In danger, in adversity, cling to your principles and ideals. Aequanimitas! ~ ~ Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records ~ ~ Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant ~ ~ Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater ~ ~ There is no education like adversity ~ ~ Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity ~ ~ Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war ~ ~ You fight dandelions all†weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity. ~ ~ Adversity is a severe instructor, set over us by one who knows us better than we do ourselves, as he loves us better too. He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. This conflict with difficulty makes us acquainted with our object, and compels us to consider it in all its relations. It will not suffer us to be superficial. ~ ~ Adversity introduces a man to himself. ~ ~ Everywhere we see adversity, the soul sees
opportunity for our healing, expansion and enlightenment. ~ ~ OPTIMISM, n. The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile. Being a blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof --an intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious. ~ |
