“The miserable have no other medicine but hope.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama
“Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.”
Bertrand Russell
“I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.”
Anne Frank
“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.”
Kofi Annan
“Nature has made us frivolous to console us for our miseries”
Voltaire
“Misery comes to anyone who does not believe that everything happens for a purpose...Believe that everything has its reason and you would always see joy even after the sun sets...”
