Agatha Christie. Autobiography (№ 98928)

I think we often underestimate the second virtue in the triad, which is so often repeated - faith, hope and love. As for faith, that we have it, I would say, in excess of faith can harden a person, make inflexible and inexorable, faith can be abused. We just love carried in the hearts as their essence. But how often we forget that there is still hope, and as rarely think about it. We too easily despair, always ready to say: "What's the point to do anything about it?" The hope is that virtue which in our days, in our age should especially be encouraged.
