To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
Justice divine has weighed: the doom is clear. All hope renounce, ye lost, who enter here.
Dante Alighieri The Inferno
Every area of trouble gives out a ray of hope; and the one unchangeable certanity is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Hope is grief's best music.
Anonymous
Hope is itself a species of happiness and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
Samuel Johnson
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.
Bertrand Russell
Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.
Robert Burns
Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.
Martin Luther
I tremble for our world, where, in the smallest ways, we find it impossible, as Marshall Hodgson enjoined, to find room for the other in our minds. If we cannot accommodate a viewpoint in a friend without resorting to unkindness, how can we hope to heal the terrible problems of our planet? I no longer think that any principle or opinion is worth anything if it makes you unkind or intolerant.
Karen Armstrong
