The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.

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

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

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.

Never deprive someone of hope it might be all they have.

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

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

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