Despair Quote by Anonymous
“When suddenly you seem to lose all you thought you had gained, do not despair. You must expect setbacks and regressions. Don't say to yourself "All is lost. I have to start all over again." This is not true. What you have gained you have gained…When you return to the the road, you return to the place where you left it, not to where you started.”
