There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
