In all circumstances and conditions of life we need to fear the wiles of the devil. In prosperity he puffs us up with pride; in adversity he sinks us into despair. -- Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations* XXVII

This is so true and it reminds me of an old saying that helps me keep perspective in both prosperity and adversity:
Self-importance protrudes itself into every situation. Each day you are confronted by your own sense of self-importance.
