In early 1841 Abraham Lincoln broke off his engagement with Mary Todd. Although they subsequently did marry, at that particular point his despair was palpable. “I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth.” - Abraham Lincoln
