Many people on our planet right now despair; they think we've reached a point where we've discovered most of the things. I'm going tell you right now: Please don't despair.

Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.

If you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning.

The happiness of most people is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.

Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

If you go through life, and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.

Thank God for beautiful songs about feeling despair when you yourself are in despair. They really get us through.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
