I’ll admit that my garden now grows hope in lavish profusion, leaving little room for anything else. I suppose it has squeezed out more practical plants like caution and common sense. Still, though, hope does not flourish in every garden, and I feel thankful it has taken root in mine. Sharon Kay Penman
About This Quote

The quote states that hope does not flourish in every garden. This must be true because there are people who are pessimistic about the future. However, hope is the greatest reason for living. It is what makes life worth while.

If you have no hope, you cannot live a meaningful life. This is why it is so important to have hope in your life. Hope does not come easy, but it is the only thing that keeps us going when things get tough.
