Despair Quotes

Authentic inspiration endows individuals with mental or spiritual energy which they are then able to transform into positive action. It can make all the difference between a man, woman, or child allowing despair to permanently paralyze any dreams they may have for their lives, or, exercising sufficient strength of will to make those dreams a reality Picture Quote #1

When our days become dreary with low hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice Picture Quote #1

Whatever your sex or position, life is a battle in which you are to show your pluck, and woe be to the coward. Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, it is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinction. Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail Picture Quote #1

Love was undoubtedly one of the things capable of changing a person’s whole life from one moment to the next. But there’s the other side of the coin, the second thing that could make a human being take a totally different course from one he or she had planned; and that was called despair. Yes, perhaps love really could transform someone, but despair did the job more quickly Picture Quote #1

This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. Beauty, like truth, brings joy to the human heart, and is that precious fruit which resists the erosion of time, which unites generations and enables them to be one in admiration. And all this through the work of your hands... Remember that you are the custodians of beauty in the world Picture Quote #1

To despair over one’s sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. It wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. No, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin Picture Quote #1

Whatever happens to you, don’t fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can’t see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path... Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want Picture Quote #1

The final test of religious faith... is whether it will enable men to endure insecurity without complacency or despair, whether it can so interpret the ancient verities that they will not become mere escape hatches from responsibilities but instruments of insights into what civilization means Picture Quote #1

In life when we feel we have reached a limit, that is when the true battle begins. Just when you despair and think it is impossible to go any further, will you become apathetic, or will you say it’s not over and stand up with an unyielding spirit? The battle is decided by this single determination Picture Quote #1

To show mercy is not naïve. To hold out against the end of hope is not stupidity or madness. It is fundamentally human. Of course... We are all doomed; we are all poisoned from our birth by the rot of stars. That does not mean we should succumb... to the seductive fallacy of despair, the dark tide that would drown us. You may think I’m stupid, you may call me a madman and a fool, but at least I stand upright in a fallen world Picture Quote #1

The silence of the spheres is the music of a wedding feast. The more we persist in misunderstanding the phenomena of life, the more we analyze them out into strange finalities and complex purposes of our own, the more we involve ourselves in sadness. But it does not matter much because no despair of ours can alter the reality of things, or stain the joy of the cosmic dance which is always there Picture Quote #1

My friend, be not like him who sits by his fireside and watches the fire go out, then blows vainly upon the dead ashes. Do not give up hope or yield to despair because of that which is past, for to bewail the irretrievable is the worst of human frailties Picture Quote #1

You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it’s time that people tell you you’re not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you Picture Quote #1

The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life Picture Quote #1

I have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure... ther e is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering. But I believe my duty as an artist is to overcome and alleviate the sterility of despair... New ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling... I do believe that painting can change the world Picture Quote #1

Use gentle methods to get whatever good you can from priests and monks who are slaves, as well as from merchants and captives. Resort to severe measures only in extreme cases, for fear lest the hardship they are already enduring in their state of captivity, joined to the strictness you might want to exercise in virtue of your authority, drive them to despair... It is not light they need, but strength, and strength permeates through the external balm of words and good example Picture Quote #1

As we have said, robust souls are sometimes almost, but not entirely, overthrown by strokes of misfortune... Despair has steps leading upward. From total depression we rise to despondency, from despondency to affliction, from affliction to melancholy. Melancholy is a twilight state in which suffering transmutes into a somber joy... Melancholy is the enjoyment of being sad Picture Quote #1

He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor Picture Quote #1

A rabbi should not despair if people do not do as much as they should. Every parent has that with children. God is merciful Picture Quote #1

Therefore, let us not despair, but instead, survey the position, consider carefully the action we must take, and then address ourselves to our common task in a mood of sober resolution and quiet confidence, without haste and without pause Picture Quote #1

If you don’t love it, you can’t suffer thru all the despair that comes with it. Keep doing it because you love it Picture Quote #1

Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee Picture Quote #1

Because no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools. Be different! Picture Quote #1

We are all subject to the fates. But we must all act as if we are not, said the witch, or die of despair Picture Quote #1

If either the absence or the presence of novelty is equally annoying, it would hardly seem that either could be the true cause of despair Picture Quote #1

If you are wise, mingle these two elements: do not hope without despair, or despair without hope Picture Quote #1

Technical criticism in particular is the despair of the artist... Any picture which makes one conscious first of its technical qualities, good or bad, is not a good picture, whatever else it may be Picture Quote #1

Despair and frustration will not shake our belief that the resistance is the only way of liberation Picture Quote #1

Uncertainty! Fell demon of our fears! The human soul that can support despair, supports not thee Picture Quote #1

The best I can say is that it’s better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It’s better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily Picture Quote #1
