Wait and Hope

Visible to anyone in the world

When I was about 9 or 10 years old two of my favourite books were The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After, by Alexandre Dumas. Oh how I longed to be one of the musketeers! But one book I never read, not sure why, was The Count of Monte Christo

By chance tonight I came across a quote from that book and I felt that it was in some way appropriate to the extraordinary situation we find ourselves in.

“... the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.”
