Adversity makes men remember God

We survive on adversity and perish in ease and comfort.

Adversity reminds men of religion. [Lat., Adverse res admonent religionum.]

Men are seldom blessed with good fortune and good sense at the same time.

Men are slower to recognize blessings than evils.

Treachery, though at first very cautious, in the end betrays itself. [Lat., Ipsa se fraus, etiamsi initio cautior fuerit, detegit.]
