Adversity Asks Fidelity Prosperity

Quote Author

Seneca the Younger
Roman - Philosopher
4 BC - 65

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

For most of us, fidelity is faithfulness to an obligation, trust, or duty. For the men and women of the FBI, fidelity also means fidelity to country. It means fidelity to justice and the law, fidelity to the Constitution, fidelity to equality and liberty.

Robert Mueller

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

Livy

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.
