We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle.

Russell Banks

In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

Lou Holtz

Flom had the same experience...He didn't triumph over adversity. Instead, what started out as adversity ended up being an opportunity.

Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.

John Wooden

Adversity is an opportunity for growth. And an opportunity to really know who your friends are.

Adversity builds muscle. Adversity creates strength. Adversity, it turns out, is preparation for success.

Andy Andrews

Adversity gives birth to greatness. The greater the challenges and difficulties we face, the greater the opportunity we have to grow and develop as people. A life without adversity, a life of ease and comfort, produces nothing and leaves us with nothing. This is one of the indisputable facts of life.

Daisaku Ikeda

Baseball is a game based on adversity. It's a game that's going to test you repeatedly. It's going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.

Theo Epstein

Out of adversity comes opportunity.

Benjamin Franklin

Freedom of a nation cannot be won by solitary acts of heroism though they may be of the true type, never by heroism so called.

Mahatma Gandhi

In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity.

Albert Einstein

Behind every adversity - is an opportunity!

Napoleon Hill

Adversity is an opportunity for self-discovery.

John C. Maxwell

Heroism--that is the disposition of a man who aspires to a goal compared to which he himself is wholly insignificant. Heroism is the good will to self-destruction.
