"Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are."
Info & reflection: Hope as active tension, not passive waiting but a pair of forces: anger that sees evil for what it is, courage that refuses to leave it unchanged. Beautiful even with the uncertain source.
⚠️ Uncertain attribution: this quote is widely shared online as Augustine's, but it can't be traced to any of his works. Augustinian scholars class it as apocryphal. Probably a modern paraphrase of his thinking on hope.
