J.r.r. TolkienCourage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-–that and such hope as I bring.
About This Quote
When Nelson Mandela said, “Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring” he was speaking about the power of hope. When you are hopeful, you are able to see the good in others and you are willing to see the good in yourself. You are able to look at bad situations and turn them into positive experiences that will improve your life.
