Of all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.

Some of your hurts you have cured, and the sharpest you've even survived. But what torments of grief you've endured from evils which never arrived - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some of your griefs you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have survived,
But what torments of grief you've endured
From evils that never arrived.

Are sorrows hard to bear,—the ruin Of flowers, the rotting of red fruit,
A love’s decease, a life’s undoing, And summer slain, and song-birds mute,
And skies of snow and bitter air?
These things, you deem, are hard to bear.But ah, the burden, the delight Of dreadful joys! Noon opening wide,
Golden and great; the gulfs of night, Fair deaths, and rent veils cast aside,
Strong soul to strong soul rendered up,
And silence filling like a cup.
