Stephen Covey

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

We all create expectations of what we would like to happen after a decision is made. The picture in our mind's eye might have served a valuable function in helping to make a decision.

Disappointment may make you miss the good that can come out of every situation in which you find yourself.

Robert Burns

Suspense is worst than disappointment.

Ridley Scott

That's a heavy word, but picking up a newspaper every day, how can you not despair at what's happening in the world, and how we're represented as human beings? The disappointments and corruption are dismaying at every level. And the biggest source of evil is of course religion. Religions are tearing each other apart in the name of their personal god. And the irony is, by definition, they're probably worshipping the same god.

Richard Hammond

Failing my driving test first time; that was a disappointment on a geological scale.

Tryon Edwards

Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries.

Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?
