William Hazlitt -
To bear failure with courage is the best proof of character that anyone can give... You will find that people forget the failures of others very quickly....

W. Somerset Maugham -
A word does not say anything And at the same time it hides everything Just as the wind that hides the water Like the flowers that mud hides. A glance does not say anything And at the same time it says everything Like rain on your face Or an old treasure map A truth does not say anything And at the same time it hides everything Like a bonfire that does not go out Like a stone that is born dust. If one day you need me, I will be nothing And at the same time I will be everything Because in your eyes are my wings And the shore where I drown.

Therefore, if we discover nothing of God's goodness in it, we are already guilty of no small ingratitude toward him.
