... i had a latent impression that there was something decidedly fine in mr. wopsle's elocution - not for old associations' sake, i am afraid, but because it was very slow, very dreary, very up-hill and down-hill, and very unlike any way in which any man in any natural circumstances of life or death ever expressed himself about anything.

Way Should Equipment
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.
Hope Wall Fall
The life of johnson is assuredly a great, a very great work. homer is not more decidedly the first of heroic poets. shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of dramatists, demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of orators, than boswell is the first of biographers. he has no second.

Aside from higher considerations, charity often operates as a vastly wise and prudent principle-a great safeguard to its possessor. men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever i heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.

"

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

Military Hopeful Direct Approach
One thing you cannot know: the sudden extinction of every alternative, the unexpected crash of the iron cataract. you do not know what hope is, until you have lost it. you only know what it is not to hope: you do not know what it is to have hope taken from you or to fling it away, to join the legion of the hopeless unrecognized by other men, though sometimes by each other.

Life Motivational Hope
Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. others have called this deepest quality confidence, and i have referred to trust as the earliest positive psychosocial attitude, but if life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.
