Quote by Henry Fielding, Amelia

My angel, cries Booth, it delights me to hear you talk thus, and for a reason you little guess; for I am assured that one who can so heroically endure adversity, will bear prosperity with equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former, is not likely to be transported with the latter.

My angel, cries Booth, it delights me to hear you talk thus,

Summary

Booth, the speaker in this quote, is speaking to someone whom he calls "my angel." He expresses his admiration for their ability to endure adversity, suggesting that this strength of character is an indication of how they would handle prosperity. Booth believes that someone who can remain strong and resilient in the face of challenges will also approach success or good fortune with a similarly calm and balanced mindset. In his view, a mind that cannot be crushed by hardships is less likely to become overly excited or carried away by favorable circumstances.
