Who in life’s battle firm doth stand
Shall bear hope’s tender blossoms
Into the silent land!

Hope

More quotes by Johann Gaudenz von Salis-Seewis

In the heavy hour of trial
Buds the leaf that crowns the victor's brow.

Work! for through business the wise man is seen,
With it are glory undying and praise.

O where can this poor human heart
Storm-tossed on life's rough shore,
Find perfect rest from all its smart
But—where it beats no more.

Into the silent land!
Ah, who shall lead us thither?

Ah land! Ah land! When comes the tempest's gloom
The mildest of the heralds of our doom
Beckons us to him with inverted brand,
And leadeth us with gentle hand
To the mighty Dead one's home
To the stilly land.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
