Vaclav Havel Quotes

If we lose our hope, that's our real disaster!

Hope is life's essential nutrient, and love is what gives life meaning

When hope is hungry, everything feeds it

Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.

Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

I think we have to believe we are here for some purpose, and I know there are many cynics who will deny it, but they don't live as if they deny it.

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

I always believe there's a reason why you go through everything.

Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.

I have a relatively sunny spirit, and I always had the expectation that my path through life would be relatively sunny, no matter what happened. I have never allowed myself to be bitter.

I learned that I'm really good with perseverance. I'm stronger than I thought I was inside. I also learned that I don't give up easily and that I trust and believe that things are going to be OK.

Courage and comfort, all shall yet go well

Don't let anyone rob you of hope.

Some of my cronies call me a pessimist and a decadent, but there is always a background of faith behind resignation.

Hope radiates outward from the center of our concerns. Hope dares us to stare the miraculous in the eye and have the courage not to look away.

Nothing should be out of the reach of hope. Life is a hope.

Hope doesn't require a massive chain where heavy links of logic hold it together. A thin wire will do...just strong enough to get us through the night until the winds die down.

Even in the worst time of life, if you are still breathing, that means you are still alive. If you are still here, you haven't accomplished what is still to be accomplished. The most important part of your life is still ahead of you.

I know that you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you...And you...And you...Gotta give em hope.

Hope is the second soul of the unhappy.
