John MiltonConsult.../what reinforcement we may gain from hope, / If not, what resolution from despair.
About This Quote
"Consult" is an imperative word that means "ask for advice or counsel." By consulting with others about your situation, you'll be able to gain knowledge and ideas. If you don't consult others, then it's impossible to have a resolution from despair about your situation. Everyone needs help from others from time to time. If you don't consult those around you, then you could become a victim of despair.
