I've taken to watching old episodes of The Waltons while doing my morning workout on the elliptical. It's amazing how well those old shows stand up. Now that was a way of expressing "family values" that didn't just bonk you over the head with didactic baloney. Those are fairly well-crafted stories with well-formed, multi-dimensional characters, decent plot lines and intelligent dialog.
Anyway, last week while "hope" was on my mind and I was preparing this batch of Today's Phrase images, Grandpa Walton opined this bit of wisdom. During the Great Depression, I'm pretty sure that hope was the thing that got a whole lot of people through the worst of times.
