To be precise and reckless: that is the consummation devoutly to be wished.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In this world of chance and change and mutability, the fulfillment of any resolve depends on the will of the Lord.
I certainly don't hope to live forever, but on the other hand, I'm not reckless.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse.
Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!
Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.
Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.
If I can create the minimum of my plans and desires, there shall be no regrets.
No wishes are silly, no dreams remain dreams, for those committed to clear and definitive goals.
This obedience to the voice of the Earth is more important for our future happiness... than the desires of the moment.
