We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King Jr
Disappointment is often the salt of life.
Theodore Parker
When people get married because they think it`s a long-time love affair, they`ll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.
Joseph Campbell
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams

Thomas S. Monson
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Robert Kiyosaki
Opportunity is a favorable occasion for grasping a disappointment.
Ambrose Bierce
Suspense is worst than disappointment.
Robert Burns
Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy -- the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.
Eric Hoffer
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfilment of that hope never entirely removes.
Thomas Hardy
Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment.
Samuel Johnson
Disappointment, when it involves neither shame nor loss, is as good as success; for it supplies as many images to the mind, and as many topics to the tongue.
Samuel Johnson
The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.
Fred G. Gosman
Rigid beliefs make disappointments seem unbearable, whereas realistic beliefs help us to accept disappointment and go on from there.
