Despair gives courage to a coward.

I'm not a boastful person. I like my actions to speak for me.

The young must be prepared to experience innumerable disappointments and yet not fail.

When boasting ends, there dignity begins.

Despair has its own calms.

If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.

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

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

Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.
