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 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 trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.

Hope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.

A lot of people have great hope, and a lot of people who have great hope live. And, some of them who have great hope die. So it's not that hope is going to save you.

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

Part of me really wants to believe that hope is entirely available to all of us. We don't have to embrace it. It would be sentimental and silly to say that we all need it, but it is absolutely available to all of us.

I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
