“The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.”

“He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.”

“Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear”

“When it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you
When the truth is found
I hope it will be true to you.”

“So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good.”

“I found I could extinguish all human hope from my soul.”

“All I can hope to teach my son is to tell the truth and fear no man.”

“Fear walks out of the door when there is hope around. My fear start trembling when it senses the presence of hope and When fear sees the hand of hope in my hands, it runs away.”
