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.

The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion.
