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

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

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

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

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

The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future.

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

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

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

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