He who foresees calamities, suffers them twice over.

Calamity is virtue's opportunity.

The trees of life randomly grow but the graves of Arlington are set in rows.

These times of ours are serious and full of calamity, but all times are essentially alike. As soon as there is life there is danger.

It is only from the belief of the goodness and wisdom of a supreme being, that our calamities can be borne in the manner which becomes a man.

Calamities are of two kinds. Misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others.
