Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

More from Lu Xun & related wisdom
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
We can never enter upon the path to virtue unless we have hope as our guide and companion.
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others. That's what's essential. That's what will always make the biggest difference in our world.
If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
