The wicked, through the pride of his countenance will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous, thy judgement are far above out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He said in his heart, I shall not be moved for I shall never be in adversity (Psalm 10:4-6).

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes, and adversity is not without comforts and hope (Francis Bacon).
