Let's do this! Let's write the saying in the native language and after all translated in english. And finally what it suggest.

I start!

La esperanza es lo ultimo que se pierde. (The hope is the last thing it is lost). Well the meaning it is clear.

El peor intento es el que no se hace. (The worst try is the one that is never done). Again the meaning it's literally in this case.

=)

.خير جليس في الحياة كتاب*

In Arabic, it means:

The best companion in life is a book.

There's also:

الوحدة خير من رفيق السوء.*

Loneliness is better than a bad companion.

Clear ^^

@Totheskyandbeyond

In (european)portuguese we have a saying similar to yours, but instead of being "lost" , we say: "A esperança é a última a morrer" (hope is the last thing to die).

Found it funny that is kinda similar though :)
