That which does not kill me makes me stronger
In the adversity of our best friends we often find something which does not displease us
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes, and Adversity is not without comforts and hopes
You learn to know a pilot in a storm
The things hardest to bear are sweetest to remember
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired
I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chatted all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er word said she
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!
She chatted all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er word said she
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!
Then welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go!
Be our joys three-parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!
That turns earth's smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go!
Be our joys three-parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!
