“There is not unmitigated ill in the sharpest of this world's sorrows; I touch not the sore of thy guilt; but of human griefs I counsel thee, Cast off the weakness of regret, and gird thee to redeem thy loss: Thou has gained, in the furnace of affliction, self-knowledge, patience and humility, And these be as precious ore, that waiteth the skill of the coiner: Despise not the blessings of adversity, nor the gain thou hast earned so hardly, And now thou hast drained the bitter, take heed that thou lose not the sweet.” WorldHumansSelfLosesLossGriefThis WorldHumilitySweetRegretSorrowBlessingSkillsWeaknessGainsAdversityGuiltCastsIllBitterTheeDespiseSelf KnowledgeAfflictionHeedDrainedFurnaces Book:Tupper's Poetical Works: Proverbial Philosophy, A Thousand Lines, Hactenus Source: Tupper's Poetical Works: Proverbial Philosophy, A Thousand Lines, Hactenus

“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.” HeartChildrenSoulCharacterGodChristianPainSpiritualMotherSufferingFaithFatherHeavenEducationQualityLordHumilityDevelopmentSorrowWasteGainsExperiencePatienceAdversityEndureWorthyChristian InspirationalTrialsMinistersAcquireEnduranceSpiritual WisdomToilFortitudeOur FatherOvercoming AdversityChild Of GodCharitableTribulationKeep The FaithNo PainPain And SorrowPain Is Temporary Author:Orson F.

“By Allah, whenever I endure any adversity I gain four blessings of Allah in exchange. The first of them is, when the adversity is not caused by my sin (virtue is earned). The second, when the adversity is not greater than my sin (virtue is earned). The third, when I am not deprived of contentment (virtue is earned). And the fourth, I hope for virtues thereby.” FirstsWisdomSinVirtueGreaterFourBlessingGainsThirdsAdversityEndureIslamicContentmentFourthDeprived Author:Umar
