Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.
HOPE, HOPE HAS TO BE MAINTAINED
The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.
Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
