Faith seems to grab people and not let go, but hope is a double-crosser. It can beat it on you anytime; it's your job to dig in your heels and hang on. Must be nice to have hope in your pocket, like loose change you could jingle through your fingers. Judy Blundell
About This Quote

Sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected. Faith and hope can be such a double-crosser. When you're down and out, they seem to still think you're worth helping. They'll clutch at your ankles and drag you back up the mountain.

But what a lousy ride down, and when you finally make it to solid ground, how many times do you have to get pounded by the rocks before you learn to hold on? The lesson is that hope is a double-crosser. You've got to hang on tight and keep your feet firmly planted in the face of this double-crossing wench -- or else you'll find yourself in a heap of rubble again!
