DISAPPOINTMENTS 失望

We mount to heaven mostly on the ruins of our cherished schemes, finding our failures were successes.

A. B. Alcott

我們能登上高天泰半因為我們珍惜的計畫煙消雲散，我們發現失敗竟是成功。

Disappointments are his appointments.

失望是他的邀約。

There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.

Frederick W. Faber

那些將自己的心願埋葬在上帝旨意裡的人不會失望。

In the light of eternity we shall see that what we desired would have been fatal to us, and that what we would have avoided was essential to our well-being.

Francois Fenelon

在永恆光照中，我們看見內心的慾望成為我們致命之處，而我們亟欲逃避的，卻是我們美好生活不可或缺的。

There is many a thing which the world calls disappointment, but there is no such a word in the dictionary of faith. What to others are disappointments are to believers intimations of the way of God.

John Newton

這世間很多事物被稱為失望，但在信心字典中並無「失望」二字。對基督徒而言，其他人視為失望的事物正是上帝道路的明示。

Disappointments is often the salt of life.

Francois Fenelon

失望往往是人生的調味鹽。
