"Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity." ― Herman Melville Topic(s): Hope More From Herman Melville "At sea a fellow comes out. Salt water is like wine, in that respect." "Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope." "Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, – for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it – not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation." More In Hope "Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail."― Kinky Friedman "Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear."― Baruch Spinoza "So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality."― Susan Sarandon
