“What clouds may wet the gaze without hope of emptiness within us?”
“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”
“What makes night within us may leave stars.”
“May hope rise within you. May peace wash over you.”
“Hope is like a word made with cloud, without faith, it quickly blows away.”
“Too much FANTASY loses REALITY, too much HOPE may seem somehow EMPTY.”
