“Misfortune is liable to make me a damn bad man”
“I come in all big and bad, and you use me for a game of handball.” I grin. “Makes a guy feel damn manly. She grins back. “It made me feel pretty manly.”
“No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won’t make it worse. (Apr 2007 Gen Conf)”
“For there is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving.”
“A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune”
“When bad fortune occurs, the unresourceful, unimaginative man looks about him to attach the blame to someone else; the resolute accepts misfortune and endeavors to survive, mature, and improve because of it.”
