When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Calamities are of two kinds: misfortunes to ourselves, and good fortune to others.
We have to remember that no matter how much hardship we go through in our life, there is always going to be that fragile place in our heart.
Characters who experience great trauma will sometimes create an escape.
We have witnessed the most extraordinary devastation. The magnitude of the situation is unbelievable. It's just heartbreaking.
Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
I'll never forget Hurricane Katrina - the mix of a natural and a man-made catastrophe that resulted in the death of over 1,500 of our neighbors. Millions of folks were marked by the tragedy.
Historical experience shows that a crisis causes either a recovery or catastrophic consequences.
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Tragedy takes us to the very state of consciousness which, were we to hold to it, would go far toward preventing further tragedies.
He who foresees calamities, suffers them twice over.
