1. The heart clings to its hopes,

    and whoever hopes finds his heart clinging.

  2. O soul, a measure of despair—but do not

    despair of God’s mercy, nor grow resentful.

  3. If what has passed of life has not

    fulfilled hope, then hope rests in what remains.

  4. People in this world are well-buckets: one youth

    plunges to the bottom while another rises.
