“All of us

become discouraged—

tempted to say ‘this is the end’—

the finish—

But life—

it goes on—

It always has—

It always will—

Don’t forget that. . .”

—Robert Frost

“Optimism—

is the faith that leads to achievement—

Nothing can be done

without hope—

and confidence. . .”

—Helen Keller

While there’s life—

there’s hope. . .”

—Marcus Tullius Cicero

Life is short—

and you should be grateful—

for every moment that you have. . .”

—Mac (“Hope at Christmas”)
