Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know one of the causes of modern despair is the fact that we have had proposed to us, from various quarters, an impossible perfection.
Hopelessness is a really toxic and dangerous state.
Despair is the conclusion of fools.
The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.
You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.
Death, only, renders hope futile.
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
