You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise
Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend. It can be so, sometimes.
Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that reared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.
favors are always for ourselves. Especially when we ask for things for other people.
Most of the time we do not know what we have learned till long after we learned it.
Much that we call evil is really good in disguises; and we should not quarrel rashly with adversities not yet understood, nor overlook the mercies often bound up in them.
And so it happens oft in many instances; more good is done without our knowledge than by us intended. [Lat., Itidemque ut saepe jam in multis locis, Plus insciens quis fecit quam prodens boni.]
Sometimes blessings come in strange packages.
Volunteer. Sometimes the jobs no one wants conceal big opportunities.
When I reap the rewards, I don't even know I'm reaping them.
Sometimes things are a blessing in disguise.
Limits are a secret blessing, and bounty can be a curse.
