“In our adversity, God shouts to us.”
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.”
“In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.”
“In prosperity, our friends know us. In adversity, we know our friends”
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
“Prosperity is too apt to prevent us from examining our conduct; but adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us.”
