I'll go look for "maxims" right now.
I thought of another thought to add.
-Sometimes, the truest expression of hope is the willingness to dive into hopelessness.

What other standard do we have to judge the world then by the standards we hold ourselves to? It is the only way we can assess the people we wish to surround ourselves with. We all have things that we are unwilling to budge on. Just because we judge someone as having qualities we don't wish to have in our life, does no make us lacking in consideration and compassion. I have compassion for a lot of people. I just do not wish to have them in my life.
