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

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

Hope is the dream of a waking man.

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

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

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

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.

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

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