“People don't ever seem to realize that doing what's right is no guarantee against misfortune”
William McFee
“People don't seem to realize that doing what's right's no guarantee against misfortune.”
“I can imagine no greater misfortune for a cultured people than to see in the hands of the rulers not only the civil, but also the religious power”
Catullus
“It's a sort of grim realization that they are raking in profits from the misfortune of others. They didn't seem to really mean it. It was more a way to deal with the unusual hand they'd been dealt amid the chaos of postwar Iraq.”
Correspondent Charles Levinson
“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
“One should go invited to a friend in good fortune, and uninvited in misfortune”
Swedish Proverb
“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some”
Charles Dickens
