Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
John Keats | Society, Adversity
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca – Adversity
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca – pressure of adversity
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
George Eliot – Adversity, Friction
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe – Adversity
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Cicero – Adversity
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
Thomas Carlyle – Adversity
If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
