A vulgar mind is proud in prosperity and humble in adversity. A noble mind is humble in prosperity and proud in adversity.

A vulgar mind is proud in prosperity and humble in adversity

Summary

This quote contrasts the attitudes of a vulgar mind and a noble mind in both good and bad times. A vulgar mind, characterized by a lack of refinement or moral consciousness, tends to be egoistic and arrogant when things are going well but quickly becomes humble and submissive when faced with difficulty. In contrast, a noble mind, associated with generosity and virtuous qualities, remains humble and grateful during prosperous times. However, when confronting adversity, a noble mind exhibits confidence and resilience, refusing to be defeated and maintaining a sense of pride.
