Hope and Fear
T.H. Huxley, Aphorisms and Reflections, C:
Newer› ‹Older
Do what you can to do what you ought, and leave hoping and fearing alone.This reminds me of a fragment of the Stoic philosopher Hecaton (as quoted by Seneca, Letters to Lucilius 5.7):
Desines timere, si sperare desieris.
You will stop fearing, if you stop hoping.
