Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.

I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.

Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.

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

One must always hope when one is desperate, and doubt when one hopes.

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

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

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

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

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