persistence, effort, hope
Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
