"There are those who have met disaster, which almost seems defeat, who have become somewhat soured in their natures; but if they stop to think, even the adversity which has come to them may prove a means of spiritual uplift. Adversity itself may lead toward and not away from God and spiritual enlightenment."
President David O. McKay (1873–1970), Treasures of Life, comp. Clare Middlemiss (1962), 107–8.
