anger and courage
When I was on my way back to Vienna last week, I came across this quote by Augustine:
'Hope has two beautiful daughters: Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and courage to ensure they don't stay the way they are.'
If this is true then I am filled with hope.
To me that sounds like grim determination, and not a lot like hope.

if this is true, I am filled with a lot of hope, too.
