The best part of our lives we pass in counting on what is to come.
The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.
Without life there can be no action — no objects of pursuit — no restless desires — no tormenting passions. Hence it is that we fondly cling to it — that we dread its termination as the close, not of enjoyment, but of hope.
Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.
Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.
