Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carl Jung

Life is still life. It’s still tough, complicated, and more than a little messy, with lessons to be learned, mistakes to be made, triumphs and disappointments to be had, and not every day is meant to be a party.

Samuel P. Huntington

Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie; it is a disappointment. But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope.

Richard Francis Burton

How melancholy a thing is success. Whilst failure inspirits a man, attainment reads the sad prosy lesson that all our glories "Are shadows, not substantial things." Truly said the sayer, "disappointment is the salt of life" a salutary bitter which strengthens the mind for fresh exertion, and gives a double value to the prize.

Vera Wang

I never thought I'd be successful. It seems in my own mind that in everything I've undertaken I've never quite made the mark. But I've always been able to put disappointments aside. Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.

Vincent Van Gogh

Whoever lives sincerely and encounters much trouble and disappointment without being bowed down is worth more than one who has always sailed before the wind and has only known prosperity.

Ryan Reynolds

When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Wayne Dyer

By all means give vent to your anger, let it out in nondestructive ways--if you are still deciding to have it. But begin to think of yourself as someone who can learn to think new thoughts when you are frustrated, so that the immobilizing anger can be replaced by more fulfilling emotions. Annoyance, irritation, and disappointment are feelings that you will very likely continue to experience, since the world will never be the way you want it. But anger, that hurtful emotional response to obstacles, can be eliminated.

Rodney Dangerfield

You live with life's disappointments and learn from them. At seventy-eight, I know it all.

Sarah Dessen

I mean, at first, it was kind of disappointing. But people recover from disappointment. Otherwise we'd all be hanging from nooses. Right?

Dante Hall

I criticise myself an awful lot. I do worry to the point that I don't think it's very healthy. I'm always picking my flaws. It's a terrible anxiety I have. I wish I could pretend nothing fazes me, but it does.

Ted Purdy

I know Tiger doesn't feel comfortable unless he's in the lead. Those of us who have not led all that many times, I think there's going to be some anxiety.

Jerome Forneris

The coaches are doing a great job with that, ... My job is to give him a little bit of the nuances of what he's going to see, some of the pre-snap reads and just some small things that give him an opportunity to be successful; just kind of ease that anxiety level as well.

Scott Johnson

A lot of my anxiety was returning to a class full of kids who had known me as one person and coming back as, what I felt, a different person.

Eric Tyson

You can't get caught up in the stock market's daily swings or gaining 100 points one day and losing 100 the next day. If you do, you're just going to end up suffering from painful anxiety attacks.

Edward Rhine

These are fairly young students, so they may have some anxiety.
