Misfortune is the root of good fortune; good fortune gives birth to misfortune.
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.

When you study their lives, you find that they had the same struggles as the rest of us. It's not so much about being able to always have calm. Calmness isn't just the absence of noise or troubles. It's being able to find calm within yourself when other stuff is going on.
Great Fortune brings with it Great misfortune.
Misery and misfortune is all one; and of misfortune fortune hath only the gift.

It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
Misfortune and Fortune are eerily similar, but Fortune is a better dresser and more fun at parties.
Even if misfortune is only good for bringing a fool to his senses, it would still be just to deem it good for something.
