Follow your heart wherever it take you,
and be happy. Life is brief and very fragile,
and only loaned to us for awhile.
Wake up every morning with the thought that
something wonderful is about to happen.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. – Kurt Vonnegut
There are three material things… essential to life. These are pure air, water and earth. There are three immaterial things… essential to life. These are admiration, hope and love. Admiration– the power of discerning and taking delight in what is beautiful in visible form and lovely in human character; and necessarily striving to produce what is beautiful in form and to become what is lovely in character. Hope– the recognition, by true foresight, of better things to be reached hereafter, whether by ourselves or others; necessarily issuing in the straightforward and undisappointable effort to advance, according to our proper power, the gaining of them. Love– both of family and neighbor, faithful and satisfied.
John Ruskin
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words and never stops at all.”

Hope
is important
because it can
make
the present
moment
less difficult
to bear.
If we believe
that tomorrow
will be better,
we can beat
a hardship today.
– Thich Nhat Hanh
“One good solid hope’s worth a cart-load of certainties.”
– 4th Doctor, Doctor Who: Warrior’s Gate
