Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.

Amy Lowell

Single misfortunes never come alone, and the greatest of all national calamities is generally followed by one greater.

Boyle Roche

Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.

James Russell Lowell

The good things of life are not to be had singly, but come to us with a mixture; like a school-boy's holiday, with a task affixed to the tail of it.

Charles Lamb

In great misfortunes, people want to be alone. They have a right to be. And the misfortunes that occur within one are the greatest. Surely the saddest thing in the world is falling out of love--if once one has ever fallen in.

Willa Cather

We are easily comforted for the misfortunes of our friends, when those misfortunes give us an occasion of expressing our affection and solicitude.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Surprises, like misfortunes, seldom come alone.

Charles Dickens

Our greatest misfortunes come to us from ourselves.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Surprises are like misfortunes or herrings - they rarely come single.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

There is nothing magnanimous in bearing misfortunes with fortitude, when the whole world is looking on.... He who, without friends to encourage or even without hope to alleviate his misfortunes, can behave with tranquility and indifference, is truly great.

Oliver Goldsmith

What men usually say of misfortunes, that they never come alone, may with equal truth be said of good fortune; nay, of other circumstances which gather round us in a harmonious way, whether it arise from a kind of fatality, or that man has the power of attracting to himself things that are mutually related.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. Act singly, and what you have already done singly will justify you now. Greatness appeals to the future.
