Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope - young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor.
Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.
What man is there, surrounded though he be with the love of wife and children, who does not retain a memory of the romantic affection of boys for each other? Having felt it, he could scarcely have forgotten it, and if he never felt it, he missed one of the most golden of the prizes of youth, unrecapturable in mature life.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.
Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.
