Quote

Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.

Stronger by weakness, wiser men become.

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.

We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.

What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power.

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
