William FaulknerA man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune
About This Quote
This is a famous quote from William Shakespeare, and it applies to all of us. The day we’re born, we’re given the opportunity to make our own choices and make our own mistakes. Every day, we live with the results of those choices and those mistakes. What one person considers misfortune, another may see as something that makes them stronger or wiser. The real point here is that no matter what happens, we can each find something good in it.
