There's a version of the "As one door closes another..." sentiment going mini viral on the facebook sites of some of my friends.

The statement in questions reads thus: "When one door closes another opens, we often look so long and regretfully on the closed door that we don't see the one which has just opened".

Noble words. And so unlike the version a relative of mine prefers, which is "As one door closes, another slams in your face".
