Misfortune Quotations
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. Oscar Wilde No one has the right to be sorry for himself for a misfortune that strikes everyone. Marcus Tullius Cicero 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 Misfortune shows those who are not really friends. Aristotle The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity. Benjamin Disraeli |
