Back to Blavatsky quotes

Indulge not in apprehensions of what evil might happen if things  should not go as your worldly wisdom thinks they ought; doubt not, for
 this complexion of doubt unnerves and pushes back one's progress. To have cheerful confidence and hope is quite another thing from giving
 way to the fool's blind optimism: the wise man never fights misfortune in advance.

MAHATMA K. H.
