Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

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

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

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

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

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
