Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.
- Vaclav Havel

When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope. - Pittacus LoreHope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
- Vaclav Havel
