“I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. Life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me. I am thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life itself.” IfsWorldWellsHeartEndsStatesFeelingsBigsHopeImagineMy HeartEmptyStriveBoringUselessNot SureSurroundImagine ThatOptimistPessimistWithout HopeI Am ThankfulThankful To GodUseless Life Author:Vaclav Havel
“Generally there is in man a divinity which strives to push him onward and upward. We believe that this power within him is the spirit that comes from God. Man lived before he came to this earth, and he is here now to strive to perfect the spirit within. At sometime in his life, every man is conscious of a desire to come in touch with the Infinite. His spirit reaches out for God. This sense of feeling is universal, and all men ought to be, in deepest truth, engaged in the same great work—the search for and the development of spiritual peace and freedom.” MenBelieveFeelingsEarthSpiritualSpiritDesirePerfectDevelopmentOughtConsciousUniversalInfiniteStriveEvery ManEngagedDivinityReach OutStrifeGreat WorkSpiritual PeaceOnward And Upward Author:David

“Perhaps randomness is not merely an adequate description for complex causes that we cannot specify. Perhaps the world really works this way, and many events are uncaused in any conventional sense of the word. Perhaps our gut feeling that it cannot be so reflects only our hopes and prejudices, our desperate striving to make sense of a complex and confusing world, and not the ways of nature.” WorldWayFeelingsCausesEventsPrejudiceComplexesStriveMake SenseDesperateGutsDescriptionConventionalConfusingAdequateRandomnessGut Feelings Author:Stephen Jay Gould

“The best thing that I can offer to people is just to be honest, and that's a rare quality. In doing so, I think there's always a top down feeling that permeates a working environment.
