"HARD TIMES, STRONG HEARTS"

"HARD TIMES, STRONG HEARTS" The exact quote is: “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” (G. Michael Hopf) Meaning: The quote outlines a repeating, four-stage cyclical view of history and society: hardship builds resilience, resilience brings prosperity, prosperity leads to comfort and complacency, and complacency causes new crises.
