“If you use disappointments as sort of mid-semester exams, for learning, you will learn that every disappointment you overcome makes you stronger-and wiser. The greatest success stories have been lived by those who had to grow strong and wise in that very way.”
Loretta Young
“If you teach a man anything, he will never learn”

Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.”
Helen Keller
“It was disappointing. But it's like I told the team. You learn the most from your disappointments. If that's really the case, we have some building block to work with after this game.”
Jamie Dixon
“Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.”
Calvin & Hobbes
“Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy -- the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.”
