When the sun sets do not despair; hope sits with you in the dark.

The storm is the optimist’s friend, but the pessimist’s nightmare.

Courage lightens distress, hope alleviates grief, doubt aggravates affliction, fear worsens anguish, worry magnifies misery, and faith overthrows despair.

Dear fear, I’m divorcing you. Dear courage, I’m courting you. Dear hope, I’m pursuing you. Dear love, I’m marrying you.

When night comes do not despair; rejoice instead and say to yourself, “At least now I can see the stars.

Learn from roses; even when trampled they give off perfume, not despair.
