Some suffer from real misfortunes.
Sadly, others only imagine that they do.
?Boyd K. Packer
Calamities are of two kinds:
misfortunes to ourselves,
and good fortune to others.
?Ambrose Bierce
Reflect on your present blessings,
of which every man has many;
not on your past misfortunes,
of which all men have some.
?Charles Dickens
Better be wise by the misfortunes
of others than by your own.
?Aesop
Fortune knocks but once, but
misfortune has much more patience.
?Dr Laurence J Peter
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither
terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of
all; but great cleverness and much learning,
if they be accompanied by a bad training,
are a much greater misfortune.
?Plato
All men's misfortunes spring
from their hatred of being alone.
?Jean De La Bruyere
Great minds have purposes, others
have wishes. Little minds are tamed
and subdued by misfortune;
but great minds rise above them.
?Washington Irving
A great fortune in the hands of
a fool is a great misfortune.
