“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some”
Charles Dickens
“It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.”
Buddha
“This past weekend encompassed all of us in a cloud of misfortune and sadness that is not easy to explain, especially to those who are not familiar with the great sport of quail hunting. My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week.”
Harry Whittington
“Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.”
Aristotle
“Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”
William James
“Opportunity often comes in disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”
Napoleon Hill
