Horace Pros Quotations

A well-prepared mind hopes in adversity and fears in prosperity. [Lat., Sperat infestis, metuit secundis Alteram sortem, bene preparatum Pectus.]

As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it

In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.

In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity.
