Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

Publilius Syrus

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

Aristotle

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

In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity.

Horace

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

William Hazlitt

Adversity is prosperity to those who possess a great attitude.

John C. Maxwell

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

J. C. Ryle

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

Livy

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.

William Hazlitt

Adversity, if a man is set down to it by degrees, is more supportable with equanimity by most people than any great prosperity arrived at in a single lifetime.

Samuel Butler

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.
