“Things are never as bad as we fear nor as good as we hope. François Théodore Thistlethwaite”
“Your writing is never as good as you hoped; but never as bad as you feared.”
“that there are many things that we cant understand. the past. the bad things that happened... and we become afraid. of what might happen in the future. its okay to be afraid. but we have to keep hoping and believeing... to keep hoping and trying our best to be good and do good. even when we're afraid”
“Sometimes, when we want something so badly, we fear failure more than we fear being without that thing.”
“We long for things that harm us and run from the things that grow and heal us. We think good is bad and bad is good.”
“Wartime fears and hardship had faded, We looked to the future with hope: Expectations rose high as new flats in the sky, And “We’d never had it so good!”
