One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.
A problem is a chance for you to do your best.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
I love those who can smile in trouble.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.
If you can't change it.. change the way you think about it
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
It is the business of little minds to shrink.
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.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
