Quote by William Hazlitt

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of adversity in our personal growth and development. While prosperity may provide us with valuable lessons, it is during times of adversity that we truly learn and grow. Adversity pushes us out of our comfort zones, tests our resilience, and forces us to find solutions and strengths within ourselves that we may not have realized otherwise. It teaches us important life lessons, builds character, and inspires personal transformation. Therefore, adversity is considered a greater teacher than prosperity, as it is through challenging times that we discover our true potential and emerge stronger.

I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.

Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man's spirit than when we win his heart. For we can win a man's heart one day and lose it the next. But when we break a proud spirit we achieve something that is final and absolute.
