No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
John Bunyan
Despite the opposition, trials, and temptations, you need not fail or fear.
Boyd K. Packer
Your first task is to be dissatisfied with yourself, fight sin, and transform yourself into something better. Your second task is to put up with the trials and temptations of this world that will be brought on by the change in your life and to persevere to the very end in the midst of these things.
Saint Augustine
Trials are nothing else but the forge that purifies the soul of all its imperfections.
Magdalena de Pazzi
Stop entertaining those vain fears. Remember it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.
Pio of Pietrelcina
Mock the devil, and he will flee from thee.
Edward de Bono
Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel’s face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.
Lydia M. Child
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of trauma, I will fear no concussion.
Jim Butcher
Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife.
Pope Leo I
The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.
Confucius
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
If your enemies see that you grow courageous, and that you will neither be seduced by flatteries nor disheartened by the pains and trials of your journey, but rather are contented with them, they will grow afraid of you.
Henry Suso
Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
William Butler Yeats
Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
James Buckham Kennedy
Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that reared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
John Bunyan
Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel’s face.
Lydia M. Child
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof; no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
