A weak mind sinks under prosperity, as well as under adversity.
A weak mind sinks under prosperity, as well as under adversity. A strong and deep mind has two highest tides - when the moon is at the full, and when there is no moon.
Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported with the later.
Prosperity demands of us more prudence and moderation than adversity.
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.

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.
In this thing one man is superior to another, that he is better able to bear adversity and prosperity.

[Lat., Sperat infestis, metuit secundis
Alteram sortem, bene preparatum
Pectus.]
Love shows itself more in adversity than in prosperity; as light does, which shines most where the place is darkest.
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.
In adversity assume the countenance of prosperity, and in prosperity moderate the temper and desires.
Consider that nothing in human life is stable; for then you will not exult overmuch in prosperity, nor grieve overmuch in adversity. Rejoice over the good things which come to you, but grieve in moderation over the evils which befall you.
To bear adversity with an equal mind is both the sign and glory of a brave spirit.
