A Quote by Robert A. Heinlein

It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope. — © Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. . . . He may live without books,-what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,-what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,-what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?
Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: "Leave behind all hope, you who enter here."
I choose to live without hope to protect myself from disappointment. It's very effective!
I hope you find someone you can't live without.I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it's like to have to try and live without them.
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.
Totally without hope, one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live.
We can live with lots of things, but we can't live without imagination, we can't live without hope.
This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.
Hope is critical to both faith and charity. When disobedience, disappointment, and procrastination erode faith, hope is there to uphold our faith. When frustration and impatience challenge charity, hope braces our resolve and urges us to care for our fellowmen even without expectation of reward. The brighter our hope, the greater our faith. The stronger our hope, the purer our charity.
I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.
I hope to work through disappointment and frustration with as much grace as [Georgia] O'Keeffe did, and I hope to have the same confidence in my own vision.
Even if my fellow man has proven faithless time after time, I can at least retain a hope that he will improve, pray for him, and think kindly without frustration and disappointment.
If you live to be 1000 years old, I hope I live to be 1000 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.
And do you know, do you know that mankind can live without the Englishman, it can live without Germany, it can live only too well without the Russian man, it can live without science, without bread, and it only cannot live without beauty, for then there would be nothing at all to do in the world! The whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. Science itself would not stand for a minute without beauty
Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.
To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
