Aughey My heart is very tired--my strength is low-- My hands are full of blossoms pluck'd before Held dead within them till myself shall die. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning No thought within her bosom stirs, But wakes some feeling dark and dread; God keep thee from a doom like hers, Of living when the hopes are dead. - Phoebe Carey How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination. - Jeremy Collier To believe a business impossible is the way to make it so. How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination. - Jeremy Collier Despondency is not a state of humility; on the contrary, it is the vexation and despair of a cowardly pride--nothing is worse; whether we stumble or whether we fall, we must only think of rising again and going on in our course. - Francois de Salignac Fenelon Some persons depress their own minds, despond at the first difficulty; and conclude that making any progress in knowledge, farther than serves their ordinary business, is above their capacities. - John Locke (1) The recollection of one upward hour Hath more in it to tranquilize and cheer The darkness of despondency, than years Of gayety and pleasure. - James Gates Percival Life is a warfare; and he who easily desponds deserts a double duty--he betrays the noblest property of man, which is dauntless resolution; and he rejects the providence of that All-Gracious Being who guides and rules the universe. - Jane Porter All day the darkness and the cold Upon my heart have lain, Like shadows on the winter sky, Like frost upon the pane. - John Greenleaf Whittier
