Joseph B. Wirthlin Adversity Quotations

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people.

In spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser and happier as a result.

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.

I know why there must be opposition in all things. Adversity, if handled correctly, can be a blessing in our lives. We can learn to love it.

As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger. Then you will be better able to help others -those who are working, in their turn, to find a safe harbor from the storms that rage about them.

You may feel singled out when adversity enters your life. You shake your head and wonder, 'Why me?'

Without adversity, the butterfly would never have the strength to achieve its destiny. It would never develop the strength to become something extraordinary.

If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness.

The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.
