“It is when faced with adversity that we get to know what we are made up of, what we are capable of doing, and who we truly are.”

Thank you for still being there for yourself. For being strong. For being resilient. Keep going.

When the dust has settled, turn off the revving, restless engine inside you.

Your faults are your wounds. And I don’t feel any anger at all. What I feel, is compassion.

Go where you are celebrated, somewhere where the sun you carry in you will be seen and fully embraced by those who recognize it.

I will not allow myself to lose the child in me.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

May our adversities make us strong. May our victories make us wise. May our actions make us proud.

One of the major keys to success is to keep moving forward on the journey, making the best of the detours and interruptions, turning adversity into advantage.

He who runs away from a fearful calamity, a foreign invasion, a terrible famine, and the companionship of wicked men is safe.

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity until he has tasted adversity.

In every adversity of fortune, to have been happy is the most unhappy kind of misfortune.

Finally, remember to blame no one, including yourself, whenever some calamities fall upon you.
