Misfortune conquers timid souls while great minds subdue misfortune.
Tests are a gift. And great tests are a great gift. To fail the test is a misfortune. But to refuse the test is to refuse the gift, and something worse, more irrevocable, than misfortune.

Kissing A Misfortune
Kissing a misfortune
Is a life`s last endeavour
As you never make a return.
Kissing a misfortune
Is a man`s lost game
As you don`t have a partner in it.
A slipped word,
A wrong unknowingly done and
A right forgotten to be done...
Kissing a misfortune
Is a friend`s tragedy and
Indeed a life`s ghost.

Wave A White Flag (Honky Tonk Demo)
Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
Savour the things that sobriety brings
Drainin' the last from a jug
But when I hit the bottle there's no tellin' what I'll do
'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
I can't resist you, I can't wait
To twist your lovin' arms 'til you capitulate
Beat me in the kitchen and I'll beat you in the hall
There's nothin' I love better than a free-for-all
To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
But when it is all over we will still be friends
Chorus:
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just can't get kissed
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you don't murder me
Oh, was it all right or was it OK?
I'll make it all up to you someday
Oh but you didn't have to laught that way
Oh no you didn't have to laught that way
-chorus-
Gee baby, hope you don't murder me

There is no greater misfortune, than to not be able to endure misfortune.
This great misfortune - to be incapable of solitude.

It is a great art to laugh at your own misfortune.
A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.
This great misfortune - to be incapable of solitude.

Misfortune That
Misfortune that
I am unable to know
My mistakes and faults
And you kept me here
In this cage as a
Life prisoner and
Kept me idle.
Misfortune that
Here I am
And with my consent
And I know not
When to go
And where and you
Kept me idle.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.

Looking Into My Inner Self
Until I can look into my self
And find the real
Identity of my inner self,
I will not blame anyone
For my misfortune
Although the world
It is making me to do so
Still I will not blame
Anyone for my misfortune
Before I look in my inner self…

The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.
