DISOBEDIENCE, n. The silver lining to the cloud of servitude.

Every silver lining has a cloud.

Behind every silver lining, there's a cloud.

If you're looking for a silver lining to a dark cloud, that would be it, ... I wasn't traded for a bag of pucks. It helps your confidence to know that you are being traded for quality hockey players.

Optimists are those picturesquely depicted as persons who, when presented with a glass that is half filled with water, describe it as ‘half full’. In other words, the optimist believes that there is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel or, put differently, that a silver lining lurks behind every dark cloud.

The silver lining in this whole cloud is that we have wonderful visits with our son. Ordinarily a son who is 25 doesn't have much time to spend with his father. But we have a lot of time.
