APAD: While there's life there's hope.

Meaning: As long as you are alive, there is hope as your situation may improve

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This saying was found in antiquity.

 

Millennia later, Tolstoy expounded: "Life is everything. Life is God.

Everything changes and moves and that movement is God. And while there is life

there is joy in consciousness of the divine. To love life is to love God. Harder

and more blessed than all else is to love this life in one's sufferings, in

innocent sufferings."

 

He mentioned dukkah and missed hope. He could be a Buddhist :-)
