Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.

Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
