True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited, but in adversity they come without invitation.

Theophrastus

So use prosperity, that adversity may not abuse thee: if in the one, security admits no fears, in the other, despair will afford no hopes; he that in prosperity can foretell a danger can in adversity foresee deliverance.

Francis Quarles

We are inclined to call things by the wrong names. We call prosperity 'happiness', and adversity 'misery' eventhough adversity is the school of wisdom and often the way to eternal happiness.

William Penn

Yet the past has a will of its own, and you must learn to entertain it, because it will visit, invited or not.

Faith Sullivan

He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. Real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. Prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. It's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.

Rush Limbaugh

He that swells in prosperity will be sure to shrink in adversity.

Charles Caleb Colton

Unless the local community signs up, wildlife won't survive. And without wildlife, no one will visit.

Jochen Zeitz

Prosperity seems to be scarcely safe, unless it be mixed with a little adversity.

Hosea Ballou

Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.

Elvis Presley

I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend's prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief

Euripides

We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.

Robert E. Lee

In prosperity it is very easy to find a friend; but in adversity it is the most difficult of all things.

Epictetus

To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.

Bill Maher

I have never been any place where I was not first invited. And upon invitation, if I feel that there is potential for making some contribution to humanity, I will comply in spite of being tired.

Dalai Lama

Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.
