More From Washington Irving

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. how do those who succeed do it? they persevere. they find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. and they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. there is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. persevering through adversity makes one better.

Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. it's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.
Country Real Government
In adversity, there is opportunity. show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and i'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. i've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. i never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

For my part, i rather distrust men or concerns that rise up with the speed of rockets. sudden rises are sometimes followed by equally sudden falls. i have most faith in the individual or enterprise that advances step by step. a mushroom can spring up in a day; an oak takes 50 years or more to reach maturity. mushrooms don't last; oaks do. the real cause for an enormous number of business failures is premature over-expansion, attempting to gallop before learning to creep. sudden successes often invite sudden reverses.

So use prosperity, that adversity may not abuse thee: if in the one, security admits no fears, in the other, despair will afford no hopes; he that in prosperity can foretell a danger can in adversity foresee deliverance.
