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.
