Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances
which we know to be desperate.
--G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
_Heretics_ [1905]
"Nothing, so it seems to me," said the stranger, "is
more beautiful than the love that has weathered the
storms of life. . . .
"The love of the young for the young, that is the
beginning of life. But the love of the old for the
old, that is the beginning of--of things longer."
--Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927)
_The Passing of the Third Floor Back_ [1908]
The essence of childhood is innocence. The essence of youth is awareness. The essence of adulthood is responsibility. - Andy Crouch, Culture Making, p.9
