Quote by Jean Jacques Rousseau

Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid.

Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay

Summary

This quote highlights the role of adversity as a powerful teacher in our lives. While adversity can provide valuable lessons, it often comes at a high cost. The price we pay refers to the emotional, mental, or physical hardships we endure during difficult times. The quote suggests that even though we can learn from adversity, the benefits we gain from the experience may not always outweigh the painful toll it takes on us.
