“A adversidade restitui aos homens todas as virtudes que a prosperidade lhes tira.”
“A sabedoria é um adorno na prosperidade e um refúgio na adversidade.”
“A adversidade é nossa mãe; a prosperidade é apenas uma madrasta.”
“A virtude da prosperidade é a temperança. A virtude da adversidade, a força.”
the virtue of prosperity is temperance, the virtue of adversity is fortitude

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

“Na prosperidade, nossos amigos nos conhecem; na adversidade, nós conhecemos nossos amigos.”
In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.
