Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

Peale’s aphorism frames adversity as inherently generative: embedded within each difficulty are clues, pressures, or opportunities that can be cultivated into a remedy. The “seeds” metaphor suggests that solutions are not always immediately visible; they require attention, patience, and active “growing” through attitude and effort. The second sentence sharpens the paradox—without problems, there is no impetus for learning, innovation, resilience, or character development. In the broader tradition of mid‑century American positive-thinking literature, the line encourages readers to treat setbacks as raw material for progress rather than as proof of failure.
