Thomas Chandler Haliburton (1796 – 1865) politician, judge, and author

"Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsafe friend." -- Thomas Chandler Haliburton (1796 – 1865) politician, judge, and author

This is not true of Christian hope, which is rather an indispensable companion, especially welcome when the road gets rough. Like many, Haliburton calls hope what is more like wishful thinking, which has no firm foundation. Christian hope on the other hand is founded on the faithfulness of God.
