Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
Desmond Tutu
Hope itself is like a star not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
Norman Cousins
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.
Vaclav Havel
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
Bernard Williams
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon
I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way – I hope it never will.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
Albert Einstein
