You are the trip I did not take;
You are the pearls I cannot buy;
You are my blue Italian lake;
You are my piece of foreign sky.

Anne Campbell

Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare

Notes

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years.
To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
