“ Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. ”
Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
He who refuses to stoop, who cannot be bribed by the promise of success or the fear of failure - who walks the highway of the right, and in disaster stands erect, is the only victor.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
