"Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes."
"I write about adversity, I praise adversity, not to be pessimistic, but rather to strengthen myself. The more familiar that you are with it, the less likely you are to have a breakdown when it occurs. You become more reflective of its purpose, you understand God's reason for it, and are then able to make the best of everything that you are handed. The darkness is only frightening after constant sunshine."
"The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil."
"You are unfortunate in my judgment, for you have never been unfortunate. You have passed through life with no antagonist to face you; no one will know what you were capable of, not even you yourself."
"I contend that not only can you laugh at adversity, but it is essential to do so if you are to deal with setbacks without defeat."
"Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not."
