Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is no such thing as disappointment for those who continue to cherish the selflessness of which is born the noblest inner self. There is no such thing as failure for those who invest in the potentialities of the Ideal of the Soul.
Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.
Every human heart cries and yearns for the same thing: a chance to fulfill his or her own dreams and desires. Even the poorest man has a dream.
He that fears death loses the joys of life.
For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
Such is the life of a man. Moments of joy, obliterated by unforgettable sadness. There's no need to tell the children that.
We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.
Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness.
Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
