Hope Quote by Jawaharlal Nehru

“Without that passion and urge, there is a gradual oozing out of hope and vitality, a settling down on lower levels of existence, a slow merging into non-existence. We become prisoners of the past and some part of its immobility sticks to us.” quote by Jawaharlal Nehru
