The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
