What we wish, that we readily believe.

Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire.

I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.

I think if you believe in something hard enough, it'll work.

Sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing between faith and hope.

It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm more pompous and self-assured and determined that if - you know - if the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

Expect more than others think possible.
