A Quote by Michel de Montaigne

A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens. — © Michel de Montaigne
A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens.
That which happens to the soil when it ceases to be cultivated by the social man happens to man himself when he foolishly forsakes society for solitude; the brambles grow up in his desert heart.
It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.
With any entertainment business, you sort of have to be OK with just going with it. I've learned very much to just go with the flow and see what happens with my life, and what happens happens.
I'm going to go out and give it all I can, and it isn't going to be on my mind that I might get hurt. If it happens, it happens, and I'll be OK with whatever does happen.
Painting, for me, when it really 'happens,' is as miraculous as any natural phenomenon - as say, a lettuce leaf. By 'happens,' I mean the painting in which the inner aspect of man and his outer aspects interlock.
There's so much focus and interest about what happens during war, but very little about what happens when people return to homes and communities that have been destroyed. There's a renewal that happens, but it's a very difficult one.
We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world.
Whatever happens happens. If something happens, something happens. But I believe in God, and I pray every day.
What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him.
I try not to become friends with musicians, but life happens and dinner happens and going out happens - it becomes interwoven in L.A.
The artwork had very little to do with the thought process, and the writing too, for that matter. What happens, happens, and it happens outside the brain.
But I've found that to talk too much about movies is the kiss of death. If it happens then it happens, is all.
It is not so much what happens to you as how you think about what happens." Epictetus
Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves.
When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.
Trust in someone means that we no longer have to protect ourselves. We believe we will not be hurt or harmed by the other, at least not deliberately. We trust his or her good intentions, though we know we might be hurt by the way circumstances play out between us. We might say that hurt happens; it’s a given of life. Harm is inflicted; it’s a choice some people make.
