Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.

Beware how you take away hope from another human being.

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

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 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 a moral choice.

Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.

Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse.

I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.

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.
