Sounds a lot like this saying that’s been going around the last few years:
“Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
And, weak men create hard times.”
Side tangent- I tried to find the author of that quote thinking it has to be a ‘wise man’ of the past (given that it’s not a gender neutral statement), and it looks like that it’s actually from a post apocalyptic book from 2016 that soon after became a meme.
