Tenderness to face this Tuesday.

Hope is the only universal liar

who never loses

his reputation for veracity.

 

Robert G. Ingersoll

 



Hope, deceitful as it is,

serves at least to lead us

to the end of our lives

by an agreeable route.

 

 

Franois De La Rochefoucault

 

 



December...

Winter is the time for comfort,

for good food and warmth,

for the touch of a friendly hand

and for a talk beside the fire.

It is time for home.

 

Edith Sitwell

 



Every mile is two

in winter.

 

George Herbert

 

 

 

 

In the depth of winter

I finally learned

that within me there lay

an invincible summer.

 

Albert Camus
