adversity is a good discipline adversity makes us wise until next time another's cares will not rob you of sleep any man can be a sailor on a calm sea the best way out of a difficulty is through it a burden becomes lightest when it is well borne crosses are ladders that lead to the heaven, but few of us want to climb difficulties are things that show what men are don't look for trouble every man thinks his own burden the heaviest fire is the test of gold a friend in need is a friend indeed gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity he deserves not sweet that will not taste of sour he that seeks trouble misses if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem it's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it necessity is the mother of invention needs must when the devil drives no day passes without some grief a person is what he is under pressure prosperity makes friends, and adversity tries them storms make oaks take deeper root take the rough with the smooth there are no hopeless situations, there are only hopeless men temptations, like misfortunes, are sent to test our moral strength trouble is only opportunity in work clothes trouble never comes single-handed trouble shared is trouble halved trouble springs from idlenessEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _випробування; труднощі
