Misfortune Quotes
Perils, and misfortunes, and want, and pain, and injury, are more or less the certain lot of every man that cometh into the world. It behooveth thee, therefore, O child of calamity! early to fortify thy mind with courage and patience, that thou mayest support, with a becoming resolution, thy allotted portion of human evil. -- Akhenaton
Johnson, Samuel
When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped. -- Samuel Johnson
Voltaire
