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

There's hope for everyone. That's what makes the world go round.

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

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

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

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

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

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

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

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
