Powerful Thoughts On Adversity

Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure.
Problems....create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck

Jawaharlal Nehru

Prosperity is a great teacher;
Adversity is a greater.
Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
William Hazlitt

Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

There is nothing the body suffers which the soul may not profit by.
George Meredith
