The tide of trouble will test, purify, and improve the good, but beat, crush, and wash away the wicked...the difference is not in what people suffer but in the way they suffer. The same shaking that makes fetid water stink makes perfume issue a more pleasant odor.
Saint Augustine, the City of God, book 1 chapter8
