Hope is often a fleeting illusion, but we cling to it like a lifeline.

Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.

I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.

Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions. It’s a sort of spiritual clap, I should say.

Hope is not a strategy. Luck is not a factor. Fear is not an option.

I hope I’m always learning something.

I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return.

Hope is a powerful thing.

Hope is the most important thing we have.

I can’t set my hopes too high, cause every hello ends with a goodbye.

There is no hope for any speculation that does not look absurd at first glance.

My great hope for us as young women is to start being kinder to ourselves so that we can be kinder to each other. To stop shaming ourselves and other people for things we don’t know the full story on whether someone is too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too loud, too quiet, too anything. There’s a sense that we’re all too something, and we’re all not enough.

My music is about healing and hope.

Let truth be told – women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there’s life there’s hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the “betrayed” as some amiable theorists would have us believe

So each had a private little sun for her soul to bask in; some dream, some affection, some hobby, or at least some remote and distant hope.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

Too many Americans live by Republican principles of faith, family, hope and opportunity, but vote for Democrats out of sheer habit.

When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this – that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.

If it were not for hopes, the heart would break

Great hopes make great men

Walk more closely with God. Get nearer to Christ. Seek to exchange hope for assurance. Seek to feel the witness of the Spirit more closely and distinctly every year. Lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily threatens you. Press towards the mark more earnestly. Fight a better fight, and war a better warfare every year you live. Pray more. Read more. Subdue self more. Love the brethren more. Oh that you may endeavor to grow in grace every year, that the end of your Christian course may be better than the beginning.

I hope that you have nothing against malice, my good engineer. In my eyes it is the brightest sword that reason has against the powers of darkness and ugliness. Malice, sir, is the spirit of criticism, and criticism marks the origin of progress and enlightenment.

The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding – the bright hope of good things to come – the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us – the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen – these are true gold, and lasting riches.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

For passion, like crime does not sit well with the sure order and even course of everyday life. It welcomes every loosening of the social fabric, every confusion and affliction visited upon the world, for passion sees in such a disorder a vague hope of finding advantage for itself

Here were the hopes which blossom in the paths of life, reconciled with the peace which is in the grave; motions of the intellect as unwearied as the heavens, yet for all anxieties a halcyon of calm: a tranquillity that seem no product of inertia, but as if resulting from mighty and equal antagonisms; infinite activities, infinite repose

We are evidently no friends of Satan. Like the kings of this world, he wars not against his own subjects. The very fact that he assaults us should fill our minds with hope.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

When you speak directly at things and don’t say you’re going to try to do something or that you hope to do something, the universe will work with you. Think about it this way – a boomerang goes out and comes back to you if you throw it. If you throw it out at the universe, it will come back down to you on Earth.

I never read the life of any important person without discovering that he knew more and could do more than I could ever hope to know or do in half a dozen lifetimes.

No matter how piercing and appalling his insights, the desolation
creeping over his outer world, the lurid lights and shadows of his inner
world, the writer must live with hope, work in faith.

A Christian will part with anything rather than his hope; he knows that hope will keep the heart both from aching and breaking, from fainting and sinking; he knows that hope is a beam of God, a spark of glory, and that nothing shall extinguish it till the soul be filled with glory

A man full of hope will be full of action

Hope can see heaven through the thickest clouds

A child is still one more hope Even in this careworn world.

Only one hope, only one soul/ Only one smile, only one you.

I put ‘hope’ in my name to be a hopeful existence in the group.

I still go up my 44 stairs two at a time, but that is in hopes of dropping dead at the top.

Hope lies to mortals
And most believe her,
But man’s deceiver
Was never mine.

We for a certainty are not the first
Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled
Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed
Whatever brute and blackguard made the world.

I hope this will find you…enjoying the commencement of a new year with every prospect that can make it a happy one.

There are scars on my heart, just as thick, as disfiguring as those on my face. I know they’re there. I hope some undamaged tissue remains, a patch through which love can come in and flow out. I hope.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen, and hope with things that are not in hand

Hope does not necessarily have to take an object.

If there is such a thing as sin in this world, I think it must be shutting oneself up against hope.

Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble

To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Step follows step,
Hope follows Courage,
Set your face towards danger,
Set your heart on victory.

Well, I’ve been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War, about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just think that there’s no hope

I think voters want somebody who understands their problems. You’re right that they don’t expect the president to fix everything. When he’s wrestling with Congress and Wall Street and the rest of the world, they hope he’ll be looking at things from their vantage point.

I just sort of take it from a character perspective, and I don’t know if he was necessarily spiritual, but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life, and hope is faith.

Whatever house I’m in, I hope she’s not in it.

I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part

Everyone knows how much and how hard we train. If I hope to continue goalkeeping until I am 36 or 37, then you have to think about how I train.

I really hope to do something in the watch industry.

It was a great experience to play against him and I hope I will get another opportunity. I am not sure I played very well today as I had problems with my serve and missed a lot of shots when he was slicing to my backhand. But I played better than in the last two finals I lost. I enjoyed myself more.

I had so much respect for him out on court. I hope I can play him again many times … and why not here?

This is my fourth final and I just hope to enjoy myself and play my game. Previously I haven’t been able to do that in finals. It’s great to meet the No.1 player in the world, it will be a good experience for me.

By relying on my experience as a player, I hope to one day perform as a coach.

If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that’s what you hope.

I hope I can make the decision to give up before my legs give up on me. I do not want to be embarrassing on the field and feel one day that I’m not at my best and players can beat me easily in duels.

Hope is an elixir of life. It is the engine that propels us forward in our pursuit of countless goals, all of which might otherwise be impossible to undertake if we were bereft of hope.

God would never inspire me with desires which cannot be realized; so in spite of my littleness, I can hope to be a saint

So I hope that there are people out there laughing. Laugh loud, please. Laugh until your lungs give out because I will have the last laugh.

For now, I’m just going to keep doing the work and hope I don’t get fired. If people want to put me up on their walls, I’ll love it.

One of my biggest Achilles heels has been my ego. And if I, Kanye West, can remove my ego, I think there’s hope for everyone.

We work with broken families and broken people who’ve lost hope and are helpless.

It [Nobel Peace Prize] is a great recognition and honour for millions of children in the world. I hope many more people will join the fight against child slavery. This isn’t just about India. It’s a global phenomenon. We’ll work for this globally. I’ve been working in 147 countries and my responsibility is with all the world’s children.

I hope that youngsters and civil society organizations and every Indian will feel proud. It is a noble cause to work for the rights of children.

When you see me out I hope the taste in your mouth is still sweet as I wish it could be, believe me.

If I’m not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw ’em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we’ll have a unique song by the end of it.

Obviously, given the objective that we have, what I would hope is that people would be able to see that actually we had reduced the numbers of people, the net number of people, coming into the country. People would, presumably, see that, but it’s difficult to say how.

First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.

First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.

I hear the fear and hope fighting in my voice.

Life changes, so you must hope.

I hope kids feel gratitude for what they do have.

Humans. Violent but peace-loving. Passionate but cerebral. Humane but cruel. Impulsive but calculating. Generous but selfish. And yet, somehow I knew that they represented the best hope of the galaxy.

Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it

I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe in the equality of humans; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy

I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life

I expect nothing of man, and disown the race. The only folly is expecting what is never attained; man is most contemptible when compared with his own pretensions. It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within.

It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to show by this statement that I am not his murderer.

Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it

The real hope is not in something we think we can do, but in God, who is making something good out of it in some way we cannot see.

For perfect hope is achieved on the brink of despair, when instead of falling over the edge, we find ourselves walking on air

In America, immigration is the story of hope and achievement, of youth, of freedom, of creation. But all entrances on one stage are exits elsewhere

Bloody Mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now, at the hour of my death… which I hope is soon. Amen.
