For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
We waste half our strength in a useless regretting We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
