Quote

I see disappointment as something small and aggregate rather than something unified or great. With a little effort, every failure can be turned into something good.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.

There are no disappointments, just challenges.

Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.

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.

Of course there will be disappointments and the way will not always be as I expected it. But if it seemed easy, then that would be the time to worry that I am on the wrong path.

Our thoughts about an event can have a dramatic effect on how we go through the event itself. When our expectations are low, it's easy to be pleasantly surprised. When they're not, we're vulnerable to painful disappointment. Because of this, many people spend a good deal of effort trying to avoid developing high hopes about anything.
