“As Oscar Wilde once said, "To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness.”
“To lose one child, Mr. DeTamble, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose three looks like carelessness.”
“Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.”
“To gain that which is worth having,it may be necessary to lose everything else.”
