Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
~Pearl S. Buck
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
~Barbara Kingsolver
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible.
~Anonymous
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.
~Albert Einstein
But if we hope for what we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
~Romans 8:25
Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of hope: In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen, a belief that there are better days ahead.
~Barack Obama
Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.
~Moroni 10:20
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard,
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
~Emily Dickenson
