Quote by William Samuel Johnson

He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.

He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.

Summary

This quote suggests that true strength and resilience can only be fully realized when one has faced and overcome adversity. It implies that challenges and difficult experiences allow individuals to tap into their own inner power and discover their capabilities. Without experiencing hardship, a person may remain unaware of their own potential and the strength they possess to confront and triumph over obstacles. Adversity acts as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery, revealing hidden strengths that may otherwise remain undiscovered.

In each age men of genius undertake the ascent. From below, the world follows them with their eyes. These men go up the mountain, enter the clouds, disappear, reappear, People watch them, mark them. They walk by the side of precipices. They daringly pursue their road. See them aloft, see them in the distance; they are but black specks. On they go. The road is uneven, its difficulties constant. At each step a wall, at each step a trap. As they rise the cold increases. They must make their ladder, cut the ice and walk on it., hewing the steps in haste. A storm is raging. Nevertheless they go forward in their madness. The air becomes difficult to breath. The abyss yawns below them. Some fall. Others stop and retrace their steps; there is a sad weariness. The bold ones continue. They are eyed by the eagles; the lightning plays about them: the hurricane is furious. No matter, they persevere.
