2 quotes

Our greatest good, and what we least can spare,
Is hope: the last of all our evils, fear.

Art of Preserving Health (1744)

Know then, whatever cheerful and serene
Supports the mind, supports the body too:
Hence, the most vital movement mortals feel
Is hope, the balm and lifeblood of the soul.
