“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Regret is her companion and the one who whispers to her often. She has even let hope die and that brings about despair.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“Black care rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
