Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
William Shakespeare

To mourn a mischief that is past and gone Is the next way to draw new mischief on.

An habitation giddy and unsure Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
