sense regardless of how it turns out.

Havel |

is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this

enterprises that are obviously heading for success,
but rather an ability to work for something because
it is good.
-- Vaclav
Havel

how you take away hope from any human being."

Nothing
worth doing is completed in our lifetime, Therefore,
we are saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or
good makes complete sense in any immediate context
of history; Therefore, we are saved by faith. Nothing
we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is
quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend
or foe as from our own; Therefore, we are saved by
the final form of love which is forgiveness.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr

and failed in, but with what is still possible for
you to do.

may be madness but the maddest of all is to see life

it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome

to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows
is good; that everything is meaningful even if in
a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is
always tomorrow.
-- Dorothy Thompson
