“Misfortune comes uninvited”

“Misfortunes seldom come alone.”

“Misfortunes never come singly.”

“Nobody can be as agreeable as an uninvited guest.”

“Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”

“Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that is comes early.”

“All my misfortunes come of having thought too well of my fellows.”

“Alas! It is well written, "The road to eminence lies through the cheap and exceedingly uninviting eating-houses."”

“When the day of misfortune comes and (comes it must sooner or later to all )we may be prepared with Christian fortitude to endure the shock.”

“Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.”
