When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
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.
Vaclav Havel
