A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.
In times of adversity, you have two choices – you can either steal yourself away from the situation or steel yourself up towards it.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
