"There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope." ― Baruch Spinoza Topic(s): Hope More From Baruch Spinoza "To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole." "Nothing exists from whose nature some effect does not follow." "Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone." More In Hope "Good news doesn’t necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one’s fellow man."― Patti Smith "There’s a strange sense of accomplishment in making an independent film. Everything’s against you; there’s no time, and even less money – you bring a bottle of glue, chip in twenty bucks, and hope you all make it through the day. If you manage to finish it and it actually turns out to be pretty good, it’s thrilling."― Eric Stoltz "I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available."― Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
