Prosperity provideth, but adversity proveth friends.

Elizabeth I

It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.

Euripides

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

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

Adversity removes the friends prosperity has harvested.

C.J. Langenhoven

Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity is what is doing us in.

James Reston

All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world; for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Prosperity getteth friends, but adversity trieth them.

Nicholas Ling

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

Publilius Syrus

0 summer friendship, whose flat-tering leaves shadowed us in our prosperity, With the least gust, drop off in the autumn of adversity.

Philip Massinger

The reason we have few friends in adversity, is, because we have no true ones in prosperity.

Norm MacDonald

Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.

Plutarch

Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. A true friend is one soul in two bodies

Aristotle

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

Theophrastus

Do not desert a friend in time of need, nor forsake him nor fail him, for friendship is the support of life. Let us then bear our burdens as the Apostle has taught (cf. Gal. 6:2): for he spoke to those whom the charity of the same one body had embraced together. If friends in prosperity help friends, why do they not also in times of adversity offer their support? Let us aid by giving counsel, let us offer our best endeavors, let us sympathize with them with all our heart.
