Samuel Adams

If we despond, public confidence is destroyed, the people will no longer yield their support to a hopeless contest, and American liberty is no more. Through the darkness which shrouds our prospects, the ark of safety is visible. Despondency becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of those who are its supporters.

American Revolutionary

Pete Holmes

I can't speak for everybody. But I will say that for me, when I've been depressed - and I get depressed. I have irrational bouts of anxiety. I have random FedEx deliveries of despondency. Just like, 'I didn't order this. Oh, well, keep the PJs on, cancel everything you're doing today. It's time to take a sad shower.

American Comedian

Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.

British Statesman

Dorothea Dix

The olive branch has been consecrated to peace, palm branches to victory, the laurel to conquest and poetry, the myrtle to love and pleasure, the cypress to mourning, and the willow to despondency.

American Activist

John Agyekum Kufuor

Ours is not a poor country and even though we are now a poor people, there should be no room for the despondency that has settled on large sections of the population.

Ghanaian Statesman

Yogi Adityanath

Winning and losing have their significance in a democracy. But there should be no arrogance in victory, nor should there be any despondency in defeat.

Indian Politician

George Eliot

There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.

British Author

Joseph Barber Lightfoot

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

English Theologian

Baruch Spinoza

The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.

Dutch Philosopher

Ezra Taft Benson

Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair.

American Leader

Despondency conveys deep sadness, more intense than just feeling down.

Emotional depth

It suggests a loss of hope or spirit, not just temporary unhappiness.

Beyond sadness

Despondency is a word with a heavy, serious tone, often related to significant life events.
