mournfully

«Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.»
«Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? / Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? / And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.»

«The winner persistently programs his pluses; the loser mournfully magnifies his minuses.»
