Famous Sayings

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.

- J. Churton Collins

A quick comment:

This one is easy.  If you have millions of dollars, everyone wants to be your friend and be associated with your riches so they too can prosper.  But are these true friends?

When you lose everything, then whoever still sticks by your side is a true friend.  Sometimes, to our surprise, we are without friends when we lose it all, or when we don’t have much.

This is normal and should teach us to cherish the friends we do have when we are in this condition.

What to do with this quote:

Do not necessarily think that everyone hanging around you, if you are rich, is a friend or a person just hanging around you for the money.  Instead, let the tried test of adversity make it clear, should adversity befall you for a season, who your friends really.
