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
Image
He believed in dreams, in endings that people told you could never happen, in disappointments reversed and luck that lasted.
Alice Hoffman
Image
I went whenever I could, and always my eyes lifted to the hills. I was to find a spiritual and physical satisfaction in climbing mountains and a tranquil mind upon reaching their summits, as though I had escaped from the disappointments and unkindness of life and emerged above them into a new world, a better world.
Alfred Wainwright

The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment... We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
True resignation, which always brings with it the confidence that unchangeable goodness will make even the disappointment of our hopes, and the contradictions of life, conducive to some benefit, casts a grave but tranquil light over the prospect of even a toilsome and troubled life.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
Image
The outcome of fear is disappointment and shyness is frustration.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
As much as a disappointment this was, I can only learn from it and become a better fighter.
Alexis Davis
Image
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
Image
The wise expect nothing, hope for nothing, thus avoiding all disappointment and anxiety.
Alexandra David-Neel
Image
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.
Joel Osteen
Image
Dreaming led to disappointment, and disappointment to a kind of depressed funk that wasn’t easy to shake. Better to stay in the gray than get eaten by the dark.
Alexandra Bracken
Image
Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation losers, to give in the frustration winners, to come through with determination.
William Arthur Ward
Image
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
Image
Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.
William Butler Yeats
Image
Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman
Image
Who are you? No one of consequence. I must know. Get used to disappointment.
William Goldman
Image
It's easier to live with disappointment than regret.
Andre Agassi
Image
No holiday is ever anything but a disappointment.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.
Alberto Salazar
Image
Do not lose heart, even if you must wait a bit before finding the right thing. Be prepared for disappointment also, but do not abandon the quest.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
Albert Einstein
Image
Young ladies may have been crossed in love, and have had their sufferings, their frantic moments of grief and tears, their wakeful nights, and so forth but it is only in very sentimental novels that people occupy themselves perpetually with that passion, and I believe what are called broken hearts are a very rare article indeed.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
Neither great nor good things were ever attained without loss and hardships. Those that would reap and not labour, must faint with the wind, and perish in disappointments but an hair of my head shall not fall, without the providence of my Father that is over all.
William Penn
