An idea from Fear and Trembling

Abraham waited into old age for the son he was promised, and he kept the hope the whole time. Holding a hope that long is its own feat: “it is great to give up one’s wish, but it is greater to hold it fast after having given it up.”

From Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard
