Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
– Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
– Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
Hope is the only good god remaining among mankind; the others have left and gone to Olympus. Trust, a mighty god has gone, Restraint has gone from men, and the Graces, my friend, have abandoned the earth.
– Theognis of Megara (c. 550 BC), writing more than 2,500 years before the Trump v. Clinton election.
