There are disappointments which wring us, and there are those which inflict a wound whose mark we bear to our graves. Such are so keen that no future gratification of the same desire can ever obliterate them: they become registered as a permanent loss of happiness

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.

We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but we’re being fooled, because democracy is not the election. We’ve been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn’t. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It’s the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect.

Nobody wants to lose game.

There was a lot of pain, and a lot of disappointment. I felt like I was not only disappointing myself and my spouse, but all the people who’d hung a lot of hope on us. I felt like a complete loser and failure.

If I am to meet with a disappointment, the sooner I know it, the more of life I shall have to wear it off.

In other words, don’t expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say ‘we have a problem, let’s go and get it’.

Eh! All of you! come here!! taste it! taste it, taste it, taste it!!!

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment.

You know nothing about Hope, that immortal, delicious maiden forever courted forever propitious, whom fools have called deceitful as if it were Hope that carried the cup of disappointment, whereas it is her deadly enemy.

I used to work in a bank when I was younger, and my dad used to say, ‘Son, I used to carry a saw and cut down trees, and now you’re working in a bank.’ He was disappointed in that.

We had taken his silence as a sort of encouragement; necessarily, then, this talk of his was a disappointment to us, for it showed we had made no impression upon him… we knew then how the missionary must feel when he has been cherishing a glad hope and has seen it blighted.

No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.

Where them people be with you, but they really don’t love you.

My love life is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book – except all the pages end in disappointment.

Don’t let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door – if we seek it.

Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.

Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry. But none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed

It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten times a day.

I am good. You know what, you’re a lousy kindergarten teacher. I’ve seen those finger-paintings you bring home and they suck

I ain’t going anywhere, ya big, dumb animal! I’m a whole piece of shit!

I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.

Whatever you want, especially when you’re striving to be the best in the world at something, there’ll always be disappointments, and you can’t be emotionally tied to them, cos’ they’ll break your spirit.

It’s not that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just that I loathe reality.

You see, if I was a guy, and I was sitting here with a cigarette in my hand, grabbing my crotch and talking about how I make music because I like fast cars and fucking girls, you’d call me a rockstar. But when I do it in my music and in my videos, because I’m a female, because I make pop music, you’re judgmental and you say that it is distracting… I’m just a rockstar.

I’m constantly watching my weight for my job, and I’ve trained so hard this year to be ready for this season-more rigorously than ever – but people who tune in to Formula One have no comprehension of what we have to do to be fit. It’s so physical. This year, the car is way faster than when you came to the race. And the physicality has gone up quite a lot, at least 20 to 30 percent. People don’t see that. They don’t see us as athletes. They just see us driving.

Equalising performance between teams runs completely counter to the idea of F1 and would be very unfair for us.

One time I didn’t leave my hotel room for four days, I was so stuck in my head.

I don’t fear failure, I fear not living up to my potential. I take that passion with me and never stop learning…

It seems like people want to blame me for everything. Whenever any issue arises, I’m said to have been involved even if I’ve had nothing to do with it. That’s why I always focus on what I know, which is playing football, and try to be very careful with what I say because people always try and twist things.

I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me

Every time they told me no, I just got stronger.

Nobody is accustomed to play in front of an empty stadium.

The future is a gray enemy who takes away all mystery and replaces it with boredom, the future is our ultimate disappointment.
