Saim CheedaIt is not the presence of despair that ails you, but the absence of hope.
About This Quote
The power of hope is a lot more important than the presence of despair. One person who has a lot less hope than you can still live a very long and happy life. In fact, the absence of hope can kill you over time. When you have no hope, you don't bother to fight for what is right or to try to make yourself better.
