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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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