"繁栄は正しい尺度ではなく逆境が友人を量る唯一の天秤です"
— Plutarch

Simplified Meaning:
When things are going well, it's not always clear who your true friends are because everyone wants to be around you. But when times are tough, you can see who really cares about you and sticks by your side. For example, imagine you become very successful and rich; you might find that many people want to be your friend. However, if you lose all your money and face hardship, most of those people might disappear, and only the true friends will remain to support you. This suggests that real friendship is tested and revealed during difficult times, not when everything is going great. To apply this to your life, pay attention to who helps you and stays close when you’re facing challenges, as these are your genuine friends.
