Something was dead in each of us,/ And what was dead was Hope.

Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise

something was dead in each of us,
and what was dead was hope.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
