Hope is a state of mind, not a state of the world. . . .Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
If you can’t do great things, do small things in a great way. Don’t wait for great opportunities. Seize common everyday ones and make them great.
