Shoojit Sircar
The message of Jesus is summed up partly in the Sermon on the Mount, and partly when he begins his ministry and quotes the passage from Isaiah: ‘I have come to set free the prisoners and restore sight to the blind.’ And certainly, his mission is also to bring hope.

Andrea Bocelli
‘Expect nothing and hope for the best’ is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it’s the best advice I’ve had. If you keep an open mind and don’t expect too much, then you won’t be disappointed.

Max Lucado
Art work is inconclusive. It opens your mind up. At least, that’s what I hope it does. And advertising, using exactly the same photograph, closes things down. It makes it conclusive. It sells a product, and that is its primary function.

Ultimately, we must either abandon our reliance on stop and search or abandon any hope for a criminal justice system grounded in equality, impartiality and fairness.
David Lammy
I believe in an India of pluralism and diversity, not of religious bigotry and caste politics. I believe in an India that is secure in itself and confident of its place in the world, an India that is a proud example of tolerance, freedom and hope for the downtrodden.
Shashi Tharoor
Many big and small things happen in our lives, almost on daily basis, and I hope that everyone would not lose the trust that they have in themselves, and never lose positive attitude.

Noel Coward
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
Benjamin Franklin
I hope people don’t compare 2D and 3D because 3D’s new, it’s unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we’re jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.
Ang Lee
You hope to bring your ‘A Game’ to any game, and of course you do in a final. You hope to bring experience, fitness, communication skills, motivational skills.
Edwin van der Sar
I am pleased that my work has been recognized, and I hope to be a role model.
Guler Sabanci
I don’t have any faith in the Republican Party. I don’t have any faith in the Democrat Party. The only hope for this nation is God.
Franklin Graham
The big thing for me is just continuing to be a beacon of hope. And showing people that nothing is impossible.
Victoria Arlen
I don’t think there are any footsteps to be walked in. No one else has taken things that you can buy at the grocery store and put them together. I hope that I have a career as long as Julia Child.
Sandra Lee
I’m great at a deathbed. I’ve never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I’ve given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.
Patch Adams
Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners.
Benjamin Banneker
If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace is necessary. For justice, it is necessary. For hope, it is necessary, for our future.
Harry Belafonte
It’s much more fun to be full of hope than pessimism any day of the week.
Lemmy
Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.
Carl Jung
I would like to leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I would hope that by the time I die I could have learned from the years of living and hand something down.
Albert Hammond, Jr.
My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them – I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.
Jakob Dylan
If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.
Thomas Fuller
I hope for peace and sanity – it’s the same thing.
Studs Terkel
I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.
John F. Kennedy
I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad.
Lady Gaga
There is a lot of suffering and injustice in the world, and there is also a great deal of hope. When you step forward and start speaking about what you see and what you want to change, you can begin living in that hope instead of despair.
Sonita Alizadeh
Without hope we are lost.
Mahmoud Darwish
Hope is a very unruly emotion.
Gloria Steinem
As citizens, we have to co-create good governance, we cannot outsource it and hope to be passively happy consumers. Like everything worth its while, good governance must be earned.
Rohini Nilekani
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
To hunger is to be alive and to hope.
Crescent Dragonwagon
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
Beyond remembering me as a good goalkeeper or a bad goalkeeper, I just hope that people remember me for being a good person.
Iker Casillas
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
Orville Wright
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Thomas Carlyle
You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn’t matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.
Regina King
I had to stop going to auditions thinking, ‘Oh, I hope they like me.’ I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.
George Clooney
Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance.
Vaclav Havel
The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.
Edgar Allan Poe
You spell Bob Hope C-L-A-S-S.
Lucille Ball
There’s always hope, and there’s always despair.
Andrea Riseborough
Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse.
Karl A. Menninger
It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn’t get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.
Richard P. Feynman
God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.
Mattie Stepanek
If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time, there is no hope of ever solving them.
Jim DeMint
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
Daisaku Ikeda
Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation.
Jane Addams
Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.
Vincent McNabb
I hope for quick, fluent copy and memorable pictures. The words would not ‘describe’ the pictures; the pictures would not ‘illustrate’ the words. Together, they would carry a stamp and tell a story.
Muriel Rukeyser
A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
Grandma Moses
I hope that memory is valued – that we do not lose memory.
Studs Terkel
If you don’t like me, life goes on, you know what I mean? But I hope you do like me. Because I think that in addition to being pushy, I’m nice.
Christine Quinn
I hope people don’t know what to expect from us, except for something better than before. We want to be unpredictable.
Lisa
Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.
Thornton Wilder
I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.
Emily Dickinson
Ah, Hope! what would life be, stripped of thy encouraging smiles, that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of today, for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.
Susanna Moodie
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Calvin Coolidge
To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.
Sarah Paulson
I hope that you will learn to take responsibility for your decisions. Don’t take counsel of your fears.
Thomas S. Monson
I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn’t write anything without hope in it.
Oscar Hammerstein II
I’d love to be a dad. I hope I’d be great at it. That’s every man’s fear, yet his most important job.

Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus

Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.
Kate Middleton
How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.
Niels Bohr
Professionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring – an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed.
John Updike
I’ve flown across America, I’ve scaled fences, I’ve stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I’m a hopeless romantic. There’s no hope for me.
Joel Madden
Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.
Harlan Coben
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.
William Samuel Johnson
God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.
Derek Jeter
Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
Will Durant
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’
Demetri Martin
I have a charity called the Chain Of Hope, where we target children from poor areas where heart surgery is not available, and we offer our services.
Magdi Yacoub
I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
I hope that I can be a role model and positive influence to anyone else who is struggling with insecurities within themselves.
Alexa Bliss
Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.
Janine di Giovanni
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I must tell you, I haven’t done the drug problem that is faced by cops and people on the border. It’s a hard show to do, but I think it’s going to say a lot about drugs and the problems related to them. I just hope people can watch it, it’s a pretty strong show.
Aaron Spelling
Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy – the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.
Eric Hoffer
Our best hope for the future is not to get people to think of all humanity as family – that’s impossible. It lies, instead, in an appreciation of the fact that, even if we don’t empathize with distant strangers, their lives have the same value as the lives of those we love.
Paul Bloom
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
Brad Henry
Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

I think of myself as a catalyst of action and a messenger of hope, turning people onto themselves and turning people onto their dreams.
Les Brown
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you’re putting out there, if it’s received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it’s not received, great, I respect you for not.
Octavia Spencer
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
George Eliot
In the factory we make cosmetics; in the drugstore we sell hope.
Charles Revson
The hope of a new politics does not lie in formulating a left-wing reply to the right-it lies in rejecting conventional political categories.
Christopher Lasch
There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.
H. R. Giger
I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I’m more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.
Lionel Messi
We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is ‘no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine.’ We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
John F. Kelly
Anyone who doesn’t believe in miracles is not a realist.
David Ben-Gurion
Every avalanche begins with the movement of a single snowflake, and my hope is to move a snowflake.
Thomas Frey
As consumers adopt crypto, we hope that they’ll also be interested in trading equities and options.
Baiju Bhatt
I’m really fun. I’m ridiculously fun. I hope I’m infectiously fun.
Kesha
I’m always imposing my taste in books on others. I hope that people enjoy being surprised by a book they might not otherwise read – I enjoy the surprise myself when others do this to me.
Mary Roach
A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty.
David Hume
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
Aristotle Onassis
A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.
Axel Munthe
I hope I go to Heaven, and when I do, I’m going to do what every San Franciscan does when he gets there. He looks around and says, ‘It ain’t bad, but it ain’t San Francisco.’
Herb Caen
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
Vaclav Havel
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
Where there’s tea there’s hope.
Arthur Wing Pinero
The Special Olympics motto, ‘Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,’ really speaks to me because it embodies exactly what I have pursued in my life. Really, that’s all any of us can hope for – a chance to be brave and to pursue a dream.
Hannah Teter
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow.
Orison Swett Marden
Keep hope alive!
Jesse Jackson
I don’t know how many good books I still have in me; I hope there are another four or five.
Haruki Murakami
We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it.
Christo
If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don’t do it, and it won’t happen.
Desiderius Erasmus
Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they’re better than other human beings.
James Baldwin
I’m great at a deathbed. I’ve never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I’ve given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.
Patch Adams
Fear, greed and hope have destroyed more portfolio value than any recession or depression we have ever been through.
James O’Shaughnessy
I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.
Francois Rabelais
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Pearl S. Buck
I taught myself to drive. I hope that the child in me never dies.
Tom Glazer
In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write.
Pearl S. Buck
Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn’t be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.
Corazon Aquino
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
Barbara Kingsolver
Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.
Martha Beck
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
Jonas Salk
You have doubtless heard, my dear mother, the misfortune of Madame de Chartres, whose child is born dead. But I would rather have even that, terrible as it is, than be as I am without hope of any children.
Marie Antoinette
In economics, hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability.
John Kenneth Galbraith
I think freedom for Palestine could be an incredible source of hope to people struggling all over the world. I think it could also be an incredible inspiration to Arab people in the Middle East, who are struggling under undemocratic regimes which the U.S. supports.
Rachel Corrie
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
Reinhold Niebuhr
The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.
Stanley Kubrick
You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.
Zig Ziglar
I am closest to my mother, as she is my rock, my pillar of strength, and my world. Not only has she stood by me through all times – happy, sad, and otherwise – but there have even been moments when I had completely lost hope, and her immense belief in me had lifted me up.
Amruta Khanvilkar
Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don’t need religion.
Penn Jillette
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
Claude Debussy
For a long time, I have hoped for better days, but alas, today it is necessary for me to lose all hope. My poor wife suffers more and more. I do not think it is possible to be any weaker.
Claude Monet
Creativity has always depended on openness and flexibility, so let us hope for more of both in the future.
Siri Hustvedt
When you run a part of the relay and pass on the baton, there is no sense of unfinished business in your mind. There is just the sense of having done your part to the best of your ability. That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon.
N. R. Narayana Murthy
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
Epictetus
I want to find someone who’s really into something like I’m really into something, so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. I’ve got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I’ll cheer them on in their dreams.
Hunter Hayes
See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It’s not church. It’s not serious.
Charles Barkley
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.
Charlotte Bronte
I hope readers will think that ‘The Thing About Life’ is beautifully patterned, a tapestry.
David Shields
Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.
Elie Wiesel
Whether you’ve seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
Martha Beck
By joining Common Goal, I hope I can encourage the younger generation of players to think about social responsibility in their lives.
Giorgio Chiellini
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon
I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it’s pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
Harry Nilsson
I want you to take away the hope because that’s the thing that’s killing me.
Denis Leary
All you can do is make something that you like and feel proud of and then just hope for the best and try to get out of its way.
St. Vincent
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
Francis Bacon
I think that’s the one thing we all hope for in this life is we leave something of a legacy, that’s meaningful to someone else, when we leave here.
Michael McDonald
My politics of optimism and hope still casts its lot with the Democrats – in the optimistic hope that the dying embers of its status as the party of our better angels, one that took risks for social justice, can still be fanned into a flame. But I’m an old man, born in 1969.
Rick Perlstein
The United States is the world’s best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence.
Henry Cabot Lodge
It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.
Patrick Henry
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death… I think… peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne Frank
I would like to tell the young men and women before me not to lose hope and courage. Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you.
C. V. Raman
So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
Mika Waltari
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
E. M. Forster
Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they’re better than other human beings.
James Baldwin
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Maya Angelou
Cosmetics makers have always sold ‘hope in a jar’ – creams and potions that promise youth, beauty, sex appeal, and even love for the women who use them.
Virginia Postrel
I only hope that one day, America will recognize what the rest of the world already has known, that our indigenous music – gospel, blues, jazz and R&B – is the heart and soul of all popular music; and that we cannot afford to let this legacy slip into obscurity, I’m telling you.
Quincy Jones
The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.

Ivan Illich
I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.
J. Cole
I smoked for almost 10 years. I really regret that. Thankfully, I came out on the other side. I hope my lungs are repairing themselves now.
Michelle Monaghan
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
Robert Green Ingersoll
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.
Gene Cernan
I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there’s always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.
Howard Nemerov
I don’t consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I’m growing.
Paul Simon
You tell them that all your experience tells you this is the best way to beat this particular opposition. You persuade them and you drill them, and you tell them so many times they can hear you when they go to sleep. Then, on the day of the game, you stand on the touchline and hope to God that it works.
Carlo Ancelotti
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Time is no longer endless or the horizon destitute of hope.
Charles Lindbergh
You just keep moving forward and doing what you do and hope that it resonates with people. And if it doesn’t, you just keep moving on until you find a project that does.
Octavia Spencer
Peace is necessary. For justice, it is necessary. For hope, it is necessary, for our future.
Harry Belafonte
We all have the same destiny. The difference is opening ourselves up to possibilities to joy, hope, and happiness along the way. Give yourself and others a chance to take advantage of what’s out there and available.
Diane Ladd
Hope will never be silent.
Harvey Milk
I don’t know whether your heart ever necessarily changes, but time changes the way that you perceive the world. And you just hope it gives you more empathy and all those other things.
Mark Knopfler
I think there is an enormous sea change happening in the global workforce. It has a lot to do with globalization. I think that people used to have a hope for a career or meaningful employment, and its been reduced to internships, part-time work or just grossly underpaid work.
Dan Gilroy
I do write a lot of children’s songs, and I’m going to do a children’s television show, which also means I’ll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children.
Dolly Parton
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson
To lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him.
Saint Basil
I am very much against weapons in space. And I wish we could be spearheading that program to come to some kind of international agreement so that doesn’t happen. That is my only – fear – in further space exploration like always, we hope it doesn’t get abused.
Scott Bakula
But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.
George Eliot
Living in hope is a really terrible thing.
Hisham Matar
Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.
Kenny G
Where I am today… I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.
Demi Lovato
We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
Jonathan Sacks
Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity.
Herman Melville
I hope there is another life, for I would like to see how things come out in this world when I am dead.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I hope to die in the saddle seat.
Albert Ellis
I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated.
Jonathan Winters
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.’
Alfred Lord Tennyson
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
T. S. Eliot
We live in America where each and every person has the equal opportunity to take their iPhone or a smartphone and create something and put it online and have the equal ability to blow up and be successful. It’s a tool I hope we inspire tons of people to pick up and go after their dreams.
Todrick Hall
The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.
Richard Rohr
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I’m growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things – being tenacious about it.
J. C. Watts
Can I just tell you, I think it’s the most beautiful thing about young people today, it gives me so much hope for the future, that they don’t really recognize race the way my generation does.
Viola Davis
I hope that everyone has the opportunity, whatever their work environment may be, to be surrounded by people that they respect and are inspired by.
Janet Varney
The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves, as far as is possible in the society of today, that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.
Simone Weil
The worst thing that can happen in a democracy – as well as in an individual’s life – is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.
Hillary Clinton
