hope 2 |

Take
from people their wealth, and you hinder them;
take from them their purpose, and you slow them down.
But take from them their hope, and you stop them.
They can go on without wealth, and even without purpose,
for awhile. But they will not go on without hope.

"Hope"
is the thing with feathers--
That perches in the soul--
And sings the tunes without the words--
And never stops--at all.
Emily Dickinson |

All human wisdom is
summed up
in two words--wait and hope.
Alexander Dumas
What

I have
always felt that the moment when you first wake up in the
morning
is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.
No matter how weary
or dreary you may feel, you possess
the certainty that, during the day
that lies before you,
absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that
it
practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The
possibility is always there. |

Harriet
Beecher Stowe
The
longest day must have its close--the gloomiest night will
wear on
to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of
moments is
ever hurrying the day of the evil to an
eternal night,
and the night of the just to an eternal
day. |

Hope
is outreaching desire with expectancy of good. It is
characteristic
of all living beings. Birds, beasts, and people are always alert and striving
for the fulfillment of
their hungers. They are impelled forward in a ceaseless
quest for satisfaction. The antennae of insects
relentlessly explore
and feel their way ahead, and the
imagination of humans functions
in the same manner, ranging
through wide areas and far futures
in search of the good
which hope ever promises.

Hope
is wanting something so eagerly
that--in spite of all the evidence that
you're not going to get it--you
go right on wanting it.

There
is nothing so well known as that we should not
expect
something for nothing--but we all do and we call it Hope.
Edgar

When
we have hope, we are showing that we trust God to work
out the situation.
Trust is the only way we're going to
make it through and
be a part of God's marvelous plan for
His child.

There is a

We stand in life at
midnight; we are always
at the threshold of a new dawn.
Martin Luther King, Jr. |

We
are haunted by an ideal life,
and it is because we have within
us the beginning and the possibility of it.
Phillips

Thomas
Carlyle
Humans are, properly speaking, based upon hope,
we have no other
possession but hope;
this world of ours is emphatically
the place of hope. |

The natural flights of the human mind are
not
from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
Samuel Johnson |
| |
|
Do
not look forward to the changes and chances of this life
in fear;
rather look to them with full hope that, as they
arise, God,
whose you are, will deliver you out of them.
He is your keeper.
He has kept you hitherto. Do you but
hold fast to his dear hand,
and he will lead you safely
through all things; and, when you
cannot stand, he will
bear you in his arms. Do not look forward
to what may
happen tomorrow. Our Father will either shield you
from
suffering, or he will give you strength to bear it.
St.
Francis of Sales |

If
seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful
roses,
what might not the heart of the human become in its long
journey toward the stars?
Gilbert Keith Chesterton |

The well-known maxim,
"While there is life there is hope," has a
deeper meaning in reverse: "While there is hope
there is life."
Hope comes first, life follows. Hope gives
power to life. Hope rouses life to continue, to expand,
to grow, to reach out, to go on.
Hope sees a light where there isn't any.
Hope lights candles in millions of
despairing hearts.
Hope is the miracle medicine of the mind. It
inspires the will to live. Hope is the physician's
strongest ally.
Hope is man's shield and buckler against
defeat.
"Hope," wrote Alexander Pope,
"springs eternal in the human breast." And as
long as it does man will triumph and move forward.
Hope never sounds retreat. Hope keeps the
banners flying.
Hope revives ideals, renews dreams,
revitalizes visions.
Hope scales the peak, wrestles with the
impossible, achieves the highest aim.
"The word which God has written on the
brow of every man," wrote Victor Hugo, "is Hope."
As long as man has hope no situation is hopeless.

Hope is like a road in the country;
there never was a road,
but when many people walk on it,
the road comes into existence.
Lin Yutang |

Without hope people are
only half alive.
With hope they dream and think
and work. |

Never give
out while there is hope; but
hope not beyond reason, for that shows
more desire than judgment.
William
Penn
|
If we were logical, the future would
be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical.
We are
human beings, and we have faith,
and we have hope, and we
can work.
Jacques Cousteau |

Hope is a vigorous
principle. . . it sets the head and heart to work,
and
animates a person to do his or her utmost.
Jeremy Collier |

Hope
is not the conviction that something will turn out well
but the
certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. Vaclav
Havel |

Honor
begets honor,
trust begets trust,
faith begets faith,
and hope is the
mainspring of life.
Henry L. Stimson |
| |
|
Give
humanity hope and it will dare
and suffer joyfully, not counting
the
cost -- hope with laughter
on her banner and on her face
the fresh
beauty of morning.
John
Elof Boodin |

There is no
medicine like hope, no incentive so great,
no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
