| Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. |
| Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful. |
| Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit. |
| Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war. |
| Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity. |
| When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on. |
| Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. |
| Adversity is the state in which man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then. |
| There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time. |
