The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity

It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.
