GEMS OF THOUGHT
' GAIN THROUGH LOSS. Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure. —A. Bronson Alcott. What is taken from the fortune, also, may haply be so much lifted from the soul. The greatness of a loss, as the proverb suggests, is determinable, not so much by what we have lost, as by what we have left. —Bovee. He that has no cross will have no crown. —Quarles. The loss of earthly hopes and pleasures brightens the ascending path of many a heart. The pains of sense quickly inform us that the pleasures of sense are mortal and that joy is spiritual. —Mary Baker Eddy. Adversity makes a man wise, though not rich. —Thomas Fuller. Adversity is the first path to truth. — Byron.
