“Misfortunes shared creates happiness.”

“It is sad to tell, but after having tried society, which had caused his misfortune, he tried Providence which created society, and condemned it also.”

“Strong and rare natures are thus created; misery, almost always a stepmother, is sometimes a mother; privation gives birth to power of soul and mind; distress is the nurse of self-respect; misfortune is a good breast for great souls.”

“The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.”

“People overwhelmed with trouble do not look behind; they know only too well that misfortune follows them.”

“People weighed down with troubles do not look back; they know only too well that misfortune stalks them.”

“People who are overwhelmed with troubles never do look back. They know only too well that misfortune follows in their footsteps.”
