Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.

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

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always To be Blest.

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

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

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

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

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

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

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
