To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

The incomparable stupidity of life teaches us to love our parents; divine philosophy teaches us to forgive them.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Mediocrity is a hand-rail.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Virtue has needs of limits.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

A note of caution: We can never achieve goals that envy sets for us. Looking at your friends and wishing you had what they had is a waste of precious energy. Because we are all unique, what makes another happy may do the opposite for you. That's why advice is nice but often disappointing when heeded.

Marcus Buckingham Author

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

Oscar Wilde Writer

[Intellectual courage is] the quality that allows one to believe in one's judgement in the face of disappointment and widespread skepticism. Intellectual courage is even rarer than physical courage.

John Charles Polanyi Chemist

I never enter a new company without the hope that I may discover a friend, perhaps the friend, sitting there with an expectant smile. That hope survives a thousand disappointments.

A. C. Benson Poet

Life may not always be a bed of roses. All of us are aware of this fact. There are numerous times in life when we have to face disappointments. These quotes and sayings surely do inspire and help us to look forward and enjoy the new pathways coming our way. These quotes also lend a different perspective to life, which makes moving forward not a very difficult task.I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President

There is a hint of despair in the cry of 'I told you so,' an element of disappointment in the apparent satisfaction when idols turn out to have clay feet. The human race, when it thinks it has proved that no one is superior, is partly gratified and partly depressed.

Alice Thomas Ellis Writer
