14 Quotes on Adversity - Sanity Break. By Therese Borchard Published Sep 10, 2013 I’d like to share a few of my favorite quotes on dealing with adversity gracefully.
I found them very inspiring—exactly what I needed to propel me forward despite the difficulties I face. I thought you would appreciate them too. He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Adversity introduces a man to himself. He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. Originality and a feeling of one’s own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.
There are defeats more triumphant than victories. Times of general calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be. A man can get discouraged many times, but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
10 Quotes From a Sioux Indian Chief That Will Make You Question Everything About “Modern” Culture. By Wisdom Pills Image: Kirby Sattler Luther Standing Bear was an Oglala Lakota Sioux Chief who, among a few rare others such as Charles Eastman, Black Elk and Gertrude Bonnin occupied the rift between the way of life of the Indigenous people of the Great Plains before, and during, the arrival and subsequent spread of the European pioneers.

(Though a National Historical Landmark, Carlisle remains a place of controversy in Native circles.) Like his above mentioned contemporaries, however, his native roots were deep, leaving him in the unique position of being a conduit between cultures. Though his movement through the white man’s world was not without “success” — he had numerous movie roles in Hollywood — his enduring legacy was the protection of the way of life of his people.
20 Transformational Truths From Sages Throughout the Ages. By Paul Lenda Guest Writer for Wake Up World Throughout the ages, there have been many who have had a taste of incredibly mesmerizing higher states of consciousness.
Rather than keep their experiential knowledge and wisdom about the higher and deeper elements of existence to themselves, they spread the word to others, be it through spoken word, written works, or other methods. Thanks to the sages, luminaries, spiritual teachers, thinkers and every-day people who both had and shared their enlightening experience, we can ignite the light of expanded awareness of the higher and deeper aspects of the human experience and existence itself, within ourselves. When the future looks bleak and the motivation to excel and advance seems pointless, we can look to those who have lived, and those who are still alive, to impart that wisdom, realized through their own personal experiences of an enlightened state of inner awareness.
