Saturday's Quotation

Having recently returned from the Czech Republic, it seemed a good idea to post some of the thoughts of Vaclav Havel, the author and first president of that country:

"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world.
Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is
not the same as joy that things are going
well, or willingness to invest in enterprises
that are obviously heading for success, but
rather an ability to work for something
because it is good."
