Quote

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.

We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

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

The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.

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.

I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now.

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

Everywhere I go I find that people... both leaders and individuals... are asking one basic question, 'Is there any hope for the future?' My answer is the same, 'Yes, through Jesus Christ.'

If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
