Failure is a disappointment but not defeat.
?Jeanne Robertson
It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no
proper ending and therefore no proper meaning,
that sound true to life.
?Max Frisch
Hope is tomorrow's veneer
over today's disappointment.
?Evan Esar
All have disappointments, all have
times when it isn't worthwhile.
?John H. Johnson
How disappointment tracks the steps of hope.
?Letitia Landon
Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never
the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener
by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present
serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.
?Benjamin Franklin
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall
find compensation in every disappointment.
?Henry David Thoreau
Oft expectation fails and most oft there
Where most it promises, and oft it hits
Where hope is coldest and despair most fits.
?William Shakespeare
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment,
put your head down and plow ahead.
?Les Brown
