Philip Dormer Stanhope
May you live as long as you are fit to live, but no longer! or, may you rather die before you cease to be fit to live than after!
May you live as long as you are fit to live, but no longer! or, may you rather die before you cease to be fit to live than after!
When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”

The reason for idleness and crime is the deferring of our hopes.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
–Henry Ward Beecher
Most of the important thing in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.
I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.
