Quote

If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.

Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.

Hope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed.

Hope is a very unruly emotion.

Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.

Hope is a waking dream.

Hope is the magic carpet that transports us from the present moment into the realm of infinite possibilities.
