Blogging A to Z

April is Blogging A to Z Month. I will be blogging each day except Sundays, going through the alphabet.  My theme this year is quotations.

is for Adversity 
(Seems appropriate for
 times like these.)


Gold is tried in fire, 

and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

Ecclesiastics

If we had no winter, spring would not be so pleasant;

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,

prosperity would not be so welcome.

Anne Bradstreet

There is no education like adversity.

Benjamin Disraeli

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents,

which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.

Horace
