| James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899. |
| Bret Harte |
| If, of all words of tongue and pen, / The saddest are, “It might have been,” / More sad are these we daily see: “It is, but hadn’t ought to be.” | 1 |
| Never a tear bedims the eye / That time and patience will not dry; / Never a lip is curved in pain / That can’t be kissed into smiles again. | 2 |
| You’re always sure to detect / A sham in the things folks most affect. | 3 |
