Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. And faith means believing the incredible, or it is no virtue at all.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen men have come to the edge of a precipice, it is the lover of life who has the spirit to leap backwards, and only the pessimist who continues to believe in progress.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI came to the conclusion that the optimist thought everything good except the pessimist, and that the pessimist thought everything bad, except himself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
