Hope is paltry food for living.

Of course it’s not enough. But if you begin anywhere else, there’s no hope at all.

Translation: We need so very little, we need so much
To give the happiness to every single one
The warmth of hands, lips touch is just enough
So that somebody falls in love with us
To give the happiness to each of us
We need so very little, we need so much

(Looking at the tree) Pity we haven't got a bit of rope.

Without work, the vessel of human life has no ballast.

We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it.

Si nada se nos fuera durante la vida, se nos iría la vida sin nada.

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.

Poor Codrus had nothing, it is true: but he lost that nothing, which was his all

Wise people are in want of nothing, and yet need many things. On the other hand, nothing is needed by fools, for they do not understand how to use anything, but are in want of everything.

There would not be much left if every useful thing that could be turned to bad ends were destroyed.

If we didn't lose anything during life, we would lose life without anything.

Without Hope we live in desire.

We came to the end, we found nothing. Nothing!!! And we cursed because we were hoping for so much less.
