“In prosperity, our friends know us. In adversity, we know our friends”
“The hungry men were seen, followed by their valets, roaming the quais and guards' quarters; gleaning from their outside friends all the dinners they could find; for, according to Aramis, in prosperity one should sow meals right and left, in order to harvest some in adversity.”
“Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.”
“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.”
