We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.

Give hope its due

Live with hope but not only with hope. Live with hope, acting upon that hope each day.

Hope is not realized in an instant and not without persistent effort. Let your hope give you the energy and drive necessary to fulfill its promise.

Employ hope not to deny or escape reality but to improve reality. Hope is always called for when it calls you to positive action.

Hope deserves more than to be an empty wish. Hope can engage the power of your whole being, and there’s no limit to where that will lead.

Hope is about more than an eventual outcome. Hope is about your attitude and your inspiration all along the way.

Give hope its due. Make use of the power it gives you to persist in doing good and valuable things.

— Ralph Marston
