quotations about misfortune
As the dog runneth after him that flees, but flees him that standeth still; so misfortune pursueth those that flee from her, but flees those that face her.
IVAN PANIN

ELIZABETH GASKELL

If misfortunes have befallen you by your own misconduct, live, and be wiser for the future; if they have befallen you by the fault of others, live, you have nothing wherewith to reproach yourself.
JOHN HERRIES
