Adversity introduces
a man to himself.
Anonymous

The keenest sorrow is to
recognize ourselves as the
sole cause of all our adversities.
Sophocles, c. 496 - 406 B.C.

Pray for the wisdom to recognize
evil and the strength to resist it.
James Keller

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Rescue those being drawn to death, and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

(Proverbs 24:10 - 12).

For a righteous one falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked shall fall into evil (Proverbs 24:16).

Your own friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake them; nor go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity (trials); better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off (Proverbs 27:10).
