No one is to blame. It is neither their fault nor ours. It is the misfortune of being born when a whole world is dying.

Alexander Herzen

Hidden in all good fortune is misfortune. And in all misfortune is good fortune. It's never going to stay the same as long you are in the world or unless you die while you are alive and become an enlightened Zen Master. But those people don't exist. 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.

Wayne Dyer

Clarence Thomas

Albert Camus

Soren Kierkegaard

My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn't want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.

Karen Allen

The misfortune to be born when I was, where I was. That was a piece of bad luck.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

Marcus Aurelius

Ah! I shall repeat it endlessly, the only misfortune is to be born!

Marie Anne de Vichy-Chamrond, marquise du Deffand

The problem is going to be finding the right words and implementing it in a way that is really dealing with people that are inciting and not preventing honest discussion of the underlying causes of this horrendous political situation the world is in now.

Clare Short

I had horrendous teeth. I had 10 years of orthodontist treatment, everything you can think of.

Phoebe Fox

Because I was born in the South, I'm a Southerner. If I had been born in the North, the West or the Central Plains, I would be just a human being.

Clyde Edgerton
