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

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

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

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 the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope - young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor.

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

I'm actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it's a depressing word. I don't want to hope - I want to know. Like I don't hope there's a God, I know there's a God.

Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.

Hope, insofar as it is hope of resurrection, is the living contradiction of what it proceeds from and what is placed under the sign of the Cross and death.
