“ In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. ”
Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.
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.
