When I make a mistake,I don't look back at it long. i Take the reason of the thing into my mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in my power. I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.Favorite QuoteI was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
