"Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes."
"I write about adversity, I praise adversity, not to be pessimistic, but rather to strengthen myself. The more familiar that you are with it, the less likely you are to have a breakdown when it occurs. You become more reflective of its purpose, you understand God's reason for it, and are then able to make the best of everything that you are handed. The darkness is only frightening after constant sunshine."
"The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired."
"The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil."
"Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New."
"You are unfortunate in my judgment, for you have never been unfortunate. You have passed through life with no antagonist to face you; no one will know what you were capable of, not even you yourself."
