There is no greater misfortune, than to not be able to endure 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.

Misfortune
Dare not disobey
We have not
Learnt to obey
Misfortune.
Love is not joke
We never serious
To life to live
Misfortune.

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.

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.

Compromises
you should have talked more with the gorilla
as he is willing to compromise
i still owe him something
the greater the haggling
the greater the chances for dreams
the mightier the swings of misfortune
your signature could have sped it up
but you left that in the notebook
because it would not pass as yours...

Git Along Little Dogies
As I was walking one morning for pleasure
I spied a cowpuncher riding along
His hat was throwed back and his spurs were a-jingling
And as he approached he was singing this song
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Early in the springtime we round up the dogies
Mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails
Round up the horses, load up the chuck wagon
Then throw the little dogies out on the long trail
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Night comes on and we hold 'em on the bedground
The same little dogies that rolled on so slow
We roll up the herd and cut out the stray ones
Then roll the little dogies like never before
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Some boys go up the long trail for pleasure
But that's where they get it most awfully wrong
For you'll never know the trouble they give us
As we go drivin' them dogies along
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

We have far greater compassion for another's misfortune than our pleasure in another's good fortune.

Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
There is no greater misfortune than being born, except not being born at all.

What Envy Does Is Kill The Person Inside
WHAT ENVY DOES IS KILL THE PERSON INSIDE
What envy does is kill the person inside-
There is nothing more ugly
Than satisfaction at the misfortune of ones friend-
For this alone
No human being deserves to be immortal-
Envy and pleasure at another's misfortune
Teach us
Our Death is justified.

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.

It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.

Fortune of Misfortune
Tragedy or misfortune have another side to behold.
Oft times they point to directions heretofore untold.
Since life is so hurried with labors of the day,
Who can find a moment to view a different way?
There’s little time to decide if a chosen course is right.
Search for wealth drives happiness almost out of sight.
By becoming a cruel, omnipresent, unyielding master
Money can force chagrined slaves to labor ever faster.
Then fortune of misfortune strikes as all becomes strange.
Customs and thinking are challenged by airs of change.
Because of fear and uncertainty most fail to stay the course.
Tough the strong forge on using tragedy as their source.

The Fortune Of Misfortune
Tragedy or misfortune may have another side to behold.
Oft times they point to directions heretofore untold.
Life is so hurried with labors of the day
That there’s scarce a moment to consider another way.
There’s little time to decide if a chosen course is right
Since search for wealth has driven happiness out of sight.
Search for wealth becomes the powerful, unyielding master
Forcing sad, unthinking slaves to labor ever faster.
Then the fortune of misfortune strikes as all becomes strange.
Customs and thinking are confronted by airs of change.
Because of fear and uncertainty most fail to stay on course.
Winners redefine goals using such tragedy as their source.
