persistence, effort, hope
The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.
Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
