People are not soured proverb

 People are not soured by misfortune, but by the reception they meet with in it.
  William Hazlitt

 The reception will be a chance for citizens to come out and meet and visit with the candidates and chance for them to meet with the people.

 We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts.
  William Hazlitt

 Misfortune, and recited misfortune especially, may be prolonged to the point where it ceases to excite pity and arouses only irritation. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring.
  Dorothy Parker

 (AT&T) soured the tone. People are trying to get a sense of how bad things will be (with Microsoft) and they're stepping aside to see if technology is still accelerating on a profitability basis.

 We weren't expecting this. The reception is great. You couldn't ask for a better reception than what we had.

 Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though you are in lofty towers, and if a benefit comes to them, they say: This is from Allah; and if a misfortune befalls them, they say: This is from you. Say: All is from Allah, but what is the matter with these people that they do not make approach to understanding what is told (them)? / Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself, and We have sent you (O Prophet!), to mankind as an apostle; and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

 There is no greater misfortune, than to not be able to endure misfortune.

 As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.
  Lord Chesterfield

 The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.
  Benjamin Disraeli

 If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

 It just happens to be like that. It doesn't make any difference to me. It's just worked out that way. I was pushing to be back for the Liverpool game and it was just a little bit too soon. So Sunday just happens to be one of my former clubs, and it's always nice to get a good reception from the fans. I got a good reception when I played there this season, and that was nice.

 Sentiment in the bond market has really soured.

 People don't seem to realize that doing what's right's no guarantee against misfortune.

 People don't ever seem to realize that doing what's right is no guarantee against misfortune
