Periander
Greek - Leader

In adversity assume the countenance of prosperity, and in prosperity moderate the temper and desires.

Livy

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

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

One who was abhorred by all in prosperity is adored by all in adversity.

Baltasar Gracian

Prosperity often presages adversity.

Hosea Ballou

Prosperity has no power over adversity.

Publilius Syrus

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.

Baha'u'llah

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.
