Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.

Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

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

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

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.

Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.

Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
