“The measure of a man is the way he bears up under misfortune.”
Plutarch
“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some”
Charles Dickens
“The measure of a man is way he bears up under misfortune”
“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
“The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.”
Marcus Aurelius
“Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.”
Lord Acton
