Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

Henry Ward Beecher

There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better we find comfort somewhere.

Jane Austen

If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.

Henry David Thoreau
