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

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

William Hazlitt

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

Rose Kennedy

Let us remember that the times which future generations delight to recall are not those of ease and prosperity, but those of adversity bravely borne.

Charles William Eliot

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

To start with, you should have an attitude of gratitude. Without an attitude of gratitude, neither prosperity nor pleasure, joy nor happiness means anything, and it works this way: to those who have an attitude of gratitude and who do it with innocence, Mother Nature brings all the wealth, health, and happiness.

Harbhajan Singh Yogi

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Ulysses S. Grant

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

William Hazlitt

Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me.

Paul Tsongas

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

With every adversity there is a seed of an equivalent or greater benefit for those who are motivated with positive mental attitude to become achievers.

W. Clement Stone

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.
