4. "The poets and philosophers of ancient Greece believed that hope and despair were the property of the gods alone. They were wrong. We know that they belong to us, to human beings. So it is up to us to determine whether the years ahead will be for humankind a curse or a blessing.

--Elie Wiesel

5. "Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake."
