We've got to rebuild human hearts - and persuade people that hope isn't just possible, but essential.

And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.

Beware how you take away hope from another human being.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

You have to see the human being in the enemy. If there is potential for change, there is still hope.

Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.

If one truly has lost hope, one would not be on hand to say so.

Let's be cautious about dreaming up extreme scenarios. The situation in Iraq is still salvageable.
