Saint Basil the Great on troubles as tools for good fortune

The post presents a saying attributed to Saint Basil the Great in French. He compares troubles to brooms and shovels that clear the road toward a good man's fortune. He adds that many men curse rain falling on their heads without knowing it brings abundance to drive away hunger.

The quote uses two metaphors. The first treats difficulties as implements that prepare the way for later good. The second treats unwelcome weather as unrecognized provision. Both images suggest that present hardship often carries hidden benefit that becomes clear only afterward.

The text gives no further commentary, context, or citation beyond the attribution to Saint Basil the Great. The language of the post is French.
