Failure is a disappointment but not defeat.

The Commonwealths are high on the list after 2002. That was one of our big disappointments. We know we can beat anyone in the world.

Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.

It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.

Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.

Oft expectation fails and most oft there Where most it promises, and oft it hits Where hope is coldest and despair most fits.
