419	If one does not hope, one will not find the unhoped-for, since nothing leads to it [Heraclitus]
	Full Idea: If one does not hope, one will not find the unhoped-for, since there is no trail leading to it and no path.
	From: Heraclitus (fragments/reports [c.500 BCE], B018), quoted by Clement - Miscellanies 2.17.4
	A reaction: The best remark about hope I have ever encountered. Usually they are empty platitudes.
