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

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

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.

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

Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

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

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

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

There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.

All human wisdom is summed up in two words wait and hope.
