Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

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

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

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

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.

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

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

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