Wind either breaks a tree or teaches it to dance.

One friend in a storm is worth more than a thousand friends in sunshine.

Don’t resent the sky for its storms; rejoice at the sky for its rainbows.

Pain teaches you more than pleasure. Failure teaches you more than success. Poverty teaches you more than prosperity. Adversity teaches you more than comfort.

If an opportunity comes dressed in trouble’s apparel, do not scorn it.

Life is a sage’s university; hardship is his professor.

Wounds are life's trophies for enduring trials.

It is impossible to graduate from the University of Life with no scars.

Be the calm in someone else’s storm.
