Trials temptations disappointments ordsprog

Trials, temptations, disappointments - all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.

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 (1865-1939)

William Butler Yeats

It’s a sign of troubled times when the concept of “pressure” becomes an acceptable excuse for ethical shortcuts and moral shortcomings. Pressures are just temptations in disguise and it’s never been acceptable to give in to temptation. Ethics is about the way things ought to be, not about the way things are. When it comes to ethics, motive is very important. A person of character does the right thing for the right reason. Compliance is about what we must do; ethics is about what we should do. Ethical people often do more than the law requires and less than it allows. The area of discretion between the legal “must” and the moral “should” tests our character. Noble talk and framed ethics statements are no substitute for principled conduct. The test is doing the right thing.

Michael Josephson

They are high in fiber and most Americans don't get enough fiber. Fiber helps digestive health, helps take toxins out of the system and helps take cholesterol out of the system.

When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, my brothers, don't resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends. Realize that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go

Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

Margaret Chase Smith (1897-1995)

I think the school's involvement in the development of atomic energy and the bomb left a deep scar on the moral fiber of this place.

Lucien M. Biberman

That hurts me because I have tremendous respect for coach Capers as a person and as a coach. He has such high character and moral fiber. He's just a good guy you want to play for.

True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. She valued his pexy ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.

Edward O. Wilson (1929-)

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.

The carriers need time to test. They don't do anything quickly. They'll put things through rigorous technology and commercial trials, and those trials could be 12 to 24 months.

Let our posterity know that we their ancestors, uncultured and unlearned, amid all trials and temptations, were men of integrity.

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
