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

Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.

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

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

It's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.

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

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
