Adversity Quotes

“No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it's all preparation for better things. You must stretch, reach, grow into your goodness. Without the preparation we receive through adversity, disappointment, confusion, or pain, we could not appreciate the goodness when it arrives.”

“If the lives of men were relieved of all need, hardship and adversity; if everything they took in hand were successful, they would be so swollen with arrogance that, though they might not burst, they would present the spectacle of unbridled folly-nay, they would go mad. And I may say, further, that a certain amount of care or pain or trouble is necessary for every man at all times. A ship without ballast is unstable and will not go straight.”

“To accept struggle as part of life, to accept all of it, even the darkest moments of anguish; to be motivated by love rather than fear, by confidence rather than insecurity: these are the benchmarks of high self-esteem. The wish to avoid fear and pain is not the motive that drives the lives of highly evolved men and women; rather, it is the life force within them, thrusting toward its unique form of expression-the actualization of personal values.”

“She wears it so beautifully doesn’t she, her pain… Always smiling, always positive…. always happy to help… It’s like a garment perfectly tailored to fit the way she carries it… with a touch of grace… and the quietness of that sad smile…. All so you’d never know how heavy it really was.”

“If you read stories, you find the strength, faith and hope to survive everyday life.”

“Challenges are part of life; We weaken our spirit, when we act in fear and lose hope. But we strengthen our spirit, when we fearlessly with faith and hope, rise up to meet and conquer the challenges.”

“You ought to welcome troubled-souls with your peaceful-spirit.”

“Never complain, proclaim positive-words. Then, you will possess the divine grace for a change situation.”

“Tell me, who have never be knocked down by life’s circumstances? It takes grace and enough strength, to get up and begin again”

“Difficulties of life are valuable opportunities for self-discovery.”

“We must read, mediate and affirm the writings of Holy Scriptures, to partake in the divine nature and overcome the struggles of life.”

“If I were to believe in God enough to call him a murderer, then I might also believe enough that he, as a spirit, exists beyond death; and therefore only he could do it righteously. For the physical being kills a man and hatefully sends him away, whereas God, the spiritual being, kills a man and lovingly draws him nigh.”

“The limitations in life do not necessary limit you.”

“Compassion is the truest expression of our humanity, yet it can be profoundly challenging to practice, especially in the face of adversity and suffering. In moments of despair, it takes everything to stay kind, to offer a hand of support and solidarity to those who are struggling. It requires empathy, generosity, and a willingness to see the humanity in others, even when they may seem lost or broken. It demands that we set aside our own pain and grievances and extend a gesture of compassion and understanding to those in need. For it is through acts of kindness and compassion that we can create a world that is more just, caring, and compassionate for all.”

“The runner knows something the rest of us are busy forgetting: to get stronger, you have to go on until you are uncomfortable, and then go on a while longer. It is in that place where discomfort happens but activity is still possible that growth and development happen.”
