Maybe the greatest madness is to see life as it is rather than what it could be. -Miguel de Cervantes

 “...If you are picking a bunch of mixed flowers, and if you happen to see, over in a corner, a small, sad, neglected-looking pink or paeony that is all by itself and has obviously never had a chance in life, you have not the heart to pass it by, to leave it to mourn alone, while the night comes on. You have to go back and pick it, very carefully, and put it in the center of the bunch among its fair companions, in the place of honor.”
