I hope my music and my story make people believe in themselves a little bit more.

He that hopes no good fears no ill

He may have been waiting a long while, in snow or rain, yet his joy at my final appearance knows no resentment at my faithlessness, though I have neglected him all day and brought his hopes to naught

It seemed so tawdry what he had offered her – mere money – compared with what she offered him. He offered her an extraneous thing with which he could part without a pang, while she offered him herself, along with disgrace and shame, and sin, and all her hopes of heaven.

He felt the stress and strain of life, its fevers and sweats and wild insurgences – surely this was the stuff to write about! He wanted to glorify the leaders of forlorn hopes, the mad lovers, the giants that fought under stress and strain, amid terror and tragedy, making life crackle with the strength of their endeavor. And.

Fact takes no heed of human hopes.

I felt the vulnerability, the fragility of the children of the world, and how it was, nonetheless, on their frail shoulders that we loaded the weight of our weary hopes and eternal new beginnings.

I always entertain great hopes.

What every man who loves his country hopes for in his inmost heart: the suppression of half his compatriots.

Life has taught this boy to string nets beneath his hopes.

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind.

Our worst fears, like our greatest hopes, are not outside our powers, and we can come in the end to triumph over the former and to achieve the latter.

Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.

Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain – This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies –
The Flower that once has blown forever dies.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.
