Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

Faith is the very first thing you should pack in a hope chest.

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.

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

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

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

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

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

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.
