Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.

Tacitus

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I never feel more alive than when I'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring it!

Dean Karnazes

Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark.

Empedocles

Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with light weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain.

William Shakespeare

Although I never lack the presence and plain image of my own wretched infirmity, yet seeing sin so manifestly abounds in all estates, I am compelled to thunder out the threatenings of God against the obstinate rebels.

John Knox

He is the most wretched of men who has never felt adversity.

William Shakespeare

My mother is my hero just because, what life becomes about is overcoming adversity, and I watched her overcome so many things in life but still able to smile. See it's one thing to overcome adversity and to be scarred and to carry that with you but when you have somebody overcomes adversity and they're still able to smile that's something else. That's true strength.

Baal-hamon, one of Baal's names, means "the lord of wealth or abundance." Chuck Pierce believes, and I agree, that this is the principality warring against the great transfer of wealth to the Church. You must war against this spirit to see your inheritance released. Claim Jeremiah 51:44 (Bel in this verse is Baal).

Dutch Sheets

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.

Blaise Pascal

You see, there are many types of wealth and money is only one of them. I have different wealths, like the wealth of my health.

Chris Eubank Sr.

It is easy in adversity to despise death; he has real fortitude who dares to live and be wretched.

Martial

I'm a self-made actor in Bollywood. And when I see actors far more good-looking and talented than me struggling for a place, I feel quite happy with my place.

Vishwajeet Pradhan

The true defense against wealth is not a fear of wealth - of its fragility and of the vicious consequences that it can bring - the true defense against wealth is an indifference to money.

Natalia Ginzburg

A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.

Victor Hugo
