Mario TestinoHowever spontaneous I hope a photograph will look, I always put a lot of thought into how I can make it happen. The very best pictures are the most relaxed, so a lot of fussing around technically can completely break the spell, and everyone freezes up with nerves.101

Dexter FilkinsThe expectation in the Obama Administration, or at least the hope, is that a nuclear deal with the West could ultimately moderate Iranian behavior by helping to integrate the country more thoroughly into the international system.

Graeme BaseI hope that there's a difference between being childish and childlike and that I'm the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder.

John PiperDarkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward.

Jonas SalkHope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.101
Kip MooreI think I've lived a pretty hard life. What I mean by hard is that... I've been kind of reckless with things. I'm a passionate person. I'm a super passionate person.

Acting was beyond their comprehension.101
Sara ZarrWe write in ways that, we generally hope, reflect real life, or at least look familiar to humans. And in life, recurring themes are a recurring theme. We never quite conquer a pet vice or a relationship pattern or a communication habit. We're haunted by our particular demons.101

David SimonAlbert Camus, a great humanist and existentialist voice, pointed out that to commit to a just cause with no hope of success is absurd.

Des BrowneThe ability to send applications by post allows fraudsters to apply in false or stolen identities without fear of arrest and to make multiple applications in the hope of getting one through. It allows the possibility of passports being applied for with the photographs of people who are outside the U.K. and seeking to enter illegally.101
Elizabeth MontgomeryI'd never thought much about a series, because I liked the idea of picking a script I liked with a character I thought I could sustain for an hour. In a series, you live with one character day in and day out - and you only hope it will be one that will not drive you crazy.101

T. R. KnightI guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there. While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me.101
Adam BaldwinI just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I'm lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.101
Andrew GarfieldI hope that I'm always struggling, really. You develop when you're struggling. When you're struggling, you get stronger.101
Austin StowellI was the guy who was friends with everybody. Yes, I had my core group of friends, but I wasn't part of a clique that excluded people. I hope they thought I was a nice guy.

John BuchanThe charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.101

Richard DeVosFew things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough.101

Charles L. AllenWhen you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.101
Dan WakefieldThe message of Jesus is summed up partly in the Sermon on the Mount, and partly when he begins his ministry and quotes the passage from Isaiah: 'I have come to set free the prisoners and restore sight to the blind.'

Richard LiIf achieving the Hong Kong dream becomes a vanishing hope, then our society will suffer. What would the Hong Kong dream be?

Ron PopeWe all know about love, faith, sadness, despair, hope, hopelessness, longing, desire... those are things we all have inside of us, and that's what my songs are about... what it means to be a human being.101
Alan CranstonI don't think just scaring people is enough. That worked during the freeze days to a major extent, but we really didn't achieve that much even at that time. You have to have more, you have to give people hope and a vision of a better world.101
Dhirubhai AmbaniMy advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.101

Ralph GibsonIn the history of photography, we have many masterpieces in terms of black and white books. You have Bresson's 'Decisive Moment,' Frank's 'The Americans'... many masterpieces.

Mika WaltariDuring my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.101
John SentamuThe Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future.101
Jonathan KellermanThese people are real to me, and situations keep coming up where their emergence feels natural. It's like meeting old friends. I hope readers feel the same way.101
Jean StaffordYou say that you hope I will be recognized as the best novelist of my generation. I want you to know now and know completely that that would mean to me absolutely nothing.101
Janice HahnI hope to be the go-to person on international trade and industry. I think no one before me or after me will ever have so much knowledge about America's ports.101
Jack CharltonWe never had a huge squad and we never had a great deal of choice. But in many ways that helps because you've got to make do with what you've got. You don't have too many problems about picking the team you just hope that everyone turns up on the day.101
James Hal ConeTestimony is an integral part of the Black religious tradition. It is the occasion where the believer stands before the community of faith in order to give account of the hope that is in him or her.101
Desmond TutuHope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. 102
John LennonImagine 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.102
Napoleon BonaparteA leader is a dealer in hope. 102
Rene DescartesI hope that posterity will judge me kindly, not only as to the things which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.102
Lionel MessiI prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.102
Margaret AtwoodI hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it.102
Marie CurieYou cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.102
Alfred NobelHope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.102
B. H. Liddell HartHelplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.102
Charlotte BronteThe human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.102
Dieter F. UchtdorfSatan tries to counterfeit the work of God, and by doing this, he may deceive many. To make us lose hope, feel miserable like himself, and believe that we are beyond forgiveness, Satan might even misuse words from the scriptures that emphasize the justice of God in order to imply that there is no mercy.102
Dietrich BonhoefferThe essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.102
Don ShulaI think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.102
Edward de BonoCreativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.102
Edward JennerI shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry, an inquiry I trust not merely speculative, but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind.102
Elizabeth EdwardsYou all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.102
Geoffrey CanadaPeople don't believe or understand that a community can lose hope. You can have a whole community where hopelessness is the norm, where folks don't have faith that things will get better because history and circumstances have proven over 30, 40, or 50 years that things don't get better.102
George Washington CarverWhere there is no vision, there is no hope. 102
Henry GirouxA citizen is a political and moral agent who in fact has a shared sense of hope and responsibility to others and not just to him or herself.102
Howard NemerovI do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.102
Isaiah MustafaI hope that my daughter grows up empowered and doesn't define herself by the way she looks but by qualities that make her a intelligent, strong and responsible woman.102
Jesse JacksonAt the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.102
Niels BohrHow wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.102
Nikki ReedIf I can have the opportunity to go into an editing room, it's like the golden ticket for me. All I want is to learn about everything else in the filmmaking process. I just directed a music video which just came out and that'd sort of be the area of the field that I'm going to move into, I hope.102
Patch AdamsI'm great at a deathbed. I've never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I've given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.102
Paula DeenWhen it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.102
Reince PriebusCandidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works. The very promise of Hope and Change was rooted in uprooting the Washington modus operandi. But instead of rejecting it, he embraced it all - the secrecy, the closed doors, the political favors, the near-criminal negligence.102
Rick WarrenWhat gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.102
Rupert MurdochIn motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.102
Stanley HauerwasOur hope in life beyond death is a hope made possible, not by some general sentimental belief in life after death, but by our participation in the life of Christ.102
StendhalA very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. 102
Terry RichardsonOver the course of my career, I have come to accept that some of my more provocative work courts controversy, and as an artist, I value the discourse that arises from this. I can only hope for this discourse to be informed by fact, so that whether you love my work or hate it, you give it, and me, the benefit of the truth.102
Thornton WilderHope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.102
Walter BenjaminThe only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.102
Will DurantThe trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.102
Xi JinpingFriends from the press, China needs to learn more about the world, and the world also needs to learn more about China. I hope you will continue to make more efforts and contributions to deepening the mutual understanding between China and the countries of the world.102
Anne Wilson SchaefLooking after my health today gives me a better hope for tomorrow.102
Brandi CarlileI stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.102
Bruce LiptonThe planet's hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science.102
Chelsea ClintonI hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'102
David BrainerdIf you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.102
Debra MessingYou just hope that you will get the opportunity to do what you love and pay your bills, and that is being a success as an actor.102
Don HenleyLet hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.102
Edward TufteThe minimum we should hope for with any display technology is that it should do no harm.102
Faye DunawayI still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.102
Frank FrazettaI hope my work has inspired young artists. I have always tried to maintain my freedom as an artist and I feel it is one of the main reasons I have been successful.102
Gayle FormanOftentimes when you see adaptations of books you like, you're let down. As an author, you assume that they are going to suck. A little bit of hope is dangerous.102
Grace GealeyEverybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don't really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen.102
Harry KnowlesFor the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.102
Keith O'BrienIn Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.' On the other hand, there still exists in many parts of the U.S., if not nationally, an attitude towards the concept of justice which can only be described as a 'culture of vengeance.'102
Kellie PicklerI collaborated with fellow cat lover and designer Geren Ford to create a sweater that we hope any cat parent would wear to show their kitty pride and that all animal lovers can wear in support of the ASPCA.102
Lalu Prasad YadavI know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.102
Roseanne BarrMy hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel.102
Samuel RichardsonHope is the cordial that keeps life from stagnating.102
Sarah PaulsonTo not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.102
Sharron AngleYou know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change.102
Tammy BaldwinOur constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security, for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve.102
Teresa HeinzTo me, one of the best faces America has ever projected is the face of a Peace Corps volunteer. That face symbolizes this country: young, curious, brimming with idealism and hope - and a real, honest compassion.102
Tom Scholz'Life, Love & Hope' is... I'm thinking 'larger picture.' I'm not trying to preach to anyone. We all get lost and caught up in our everyday problems. Your cellphone doesn't work or you got a parking ticket, you had a bad day at work. You can lose sight of the really important things in life; that's what the song is about.102
Willow SmithIf you don't like me, if you like me; both are equally cool. I send love and positive energy to all those people in their lives. I hope they find where they're meant to be.102
Anne-Marie DuffIt's never enjoyable watching yourself. Because you're never as good looking as you hope you are. You're not expecting to be Penelope Cruz... but I'm a female of the species. I have my hang-ups and all of that.102
Bibhu MohapatraI hope to grow another head and two more hands, like an Indian goddess.102
Bob RileyDrugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.102
Cathy McMorris RodgersThis year I hope to introduce legislation that would require Power Administrations to list direct and indirect costs associated with ESA compliance as a line item on customer's power bills.102
Chris Van HollenAmerica stands as a beacon of hope and the possibility of a better life - but it is also a nation where nearly 1 in 4 children live in poverty.102
Clive SinclairI still see the world as a place of bitter irony and black humour, failed hopes, dashed plans. I hope to make my work sparer, to outgrow my desire to show off.102
Conrad BlackI do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.102
David CoverdaleI would hope it's better, but I'm actually acknowledging now that I want to explore all these levels from a whisper to a scream with this gift I've been given.102
Emily Greene BalchThese wars appear also to have given its death blow to colonialism and to imperialism in its colonial form, under which weaker peoples were treated as possessions to be economically exploited. At least we hope that such colonialism is on the way out.102
George Allen, Sr.One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.102
Hrithik RoshanThe world helps you to keep evolving and hope it's for better. You have to rise above all the tragedies in life. You have to grow, and if you stop growing, you are old.102
Kimberly QuinnMy career's consisted of all of those things that you hope would one day lead to being a series regular, and then your dreams grow from there. My career has been very steady, and I've been blessed in that I've been given everything that I can handle, at the right time.102
Knute NelsonYou say that your hope is in God, and he will, I am sure, stand by you. But you must not forget that you have been given worldly means to use and employ against human arrogance and wrong; it is necessary to see such things with a broad mind in order to oppose them.102
Laurel ClarkI feel blessed to be here representing our country and carrying out th research of scientists around the world... I hope you could feel the positive energy that beamed to the whole planet as we glided over.102
Ma JianI believe that the Tibetans should have the right to control their own destinies and decide for themselves whether they want to be part of China or not. But this view isn't shared by most Chinese, or even the leaders of most Western democracies. As long as the Communist Party is in power, there is little hope for Tibet.102
Mike RogersI can only hope the federal aid made available today will be sufficient in our recovery efforts, and pray that our citizens continue to be safe from the fallout of this dangerous natural disaster.102
Morgan SpurlockI don't know. I have incredible amounts of hope that things can change. It takes people who believe.102
Patrick ChanI hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.102
Robert UrichCharge forward with hope and get the best medical advice you can. Talk to your friends, neighbors, family, and together you attack it. We can't always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it.102
Rod ParsleyThe secular world looks to the church and to its chagrin, finds no love, no life, no laughter, no hope and no happiness.102
Todd McFarlaneYou've got to let it go and say it was the best I could do at that time and place in my life. You hope that the thing you're doing next is a little bit better.102
William Samuel JohnsonHope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness, which this world affords.102
Edgar Rice BurroughsDeath, only, renders hope futile.102
Edward ZwickThere is no reason why challenging themes and engaging stories have to be mutually exclusive - in fact, each can fuel the other. As a filmmaker, I want to entertain people first and foremost. If out of that comes a greater awareness and understanding of a time or a circumstance, then the hope is that change can happen.102
Gavid HoodThe truth about filmmaking is you have all these ideas and you're trying to convince everybody that they should buy into this idea, but at two o'clock in the morning when you're all on your own you're going, 'Geez, I hope I know what I'm doing. I hope this idea is gonna work.'102
George Dennison PrenticeIt is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.102
Joel MaddenI've flown across America, I've scaled fences, I've stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I'm a hopeless romantic. There's no hope for me.102
Leslie CharterisOthers, amounting to four novels and a mess of short stories which I did not think worth preserving, I have done my best to eliminate from the record by refusing all requests for permission to reprint them, and I hope I have done a good job of making them hard to unearth.102
Letitia Elizabeth LandonHow disappointment tracks the steps of hope.102
Liu XiaoboI hope that I will be the last victim in China's long record of treating words as crimes.102
Paul ScofieldSixty-four thousand dollars for a question, I hope they are asking you the meaning of life.102
Regis PhilbinI'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now.102
Sebastiao SalgadoSo many times I've photographed stories that show the degradation of the planet. I had one idea to go and photograph the factories that were polluting, and to see all the deposits of garbage. But, in the end, I thought the only way to give us an incentive, to bring hope, is to show the pictures of the pristine planet - to see the innocence.102
Simon HelbergI wouldn't wear turtlenecks. That I'm not envious of. But who knows? I might sneak out a few things and hope and pray that no one says, 'Hey, didn't you wear that when you were playing an enormous geek on TV?'102
Taufik HidayatI hope the BWF (Badminton World Federation) will seriously do something about the Olympic qualifying format or risk getting badminton dropped from the Games.102
Thomas BulfinchThus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.102
Adam MichnikFor those of us imprisoned in Poland, the Prague Spring was a harbinger of hope.102
David WellsI'm feeling pretty good right now, but I hope we can just win the whole thing and I can run off into the sunset and say good-bye.102
Gaston CapertonIt is our hope that the AP program can serve as an anchor for increasing rigor in our schools. Rigor can be maintained while increasing student participation.102
Larry DobyKids are our future, and we hope baseball has given them some idea of what it is to live together and how we can get along, whether you be black or white.102
Lu XunHope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.102
Samantha SmithWell, I just hope we can have peace, and I hope it'll do some good.102
Susan LucciLife goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.102
Anil KapoorThere are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future.102
Jakob DylanMy songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.102
Ralph StanleyI'm thankful that I have lived long enough to become a legend, and I hope I deserve it.102
Joyce GrenfellThey look quite promising in the shop; and not entirely without hope when I get them back into my wardrobe. But then, when I put them on they tend to deteriorate with a very strange rapidity and one feels so sorry for them.102
Jean KerrYou don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.102
Maz JobraniI want to show another side of Middle Easterners. My hope is that I would be able to play a variety of parts, and not always be the guy with the accent.102
Marquis de CondorcetI hope to see the bringing together of all the best educated people of the earth into a worldwide Congress of Scientists.102
Juan Manuel SantosI have had extremely good relations with the United States and with both parties (Republicans and Democrats), and I hope to continue to have these good relations, which I, again repeating, do not consider to be mutually exclusive with having good relations with Venezuela or Ecuador or whichever country in South America.102
Martin Luther King, Jr.We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. 103
Hillary ClintonThe worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.103
Kurt VonnegutThere is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.103
Nikos KazantzakisI hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. 103
James MadisonThe happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.103
Mattie StepanekKeep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.103
Samuel JohnsonThe mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.103
Alan DershowitzIn some ways, Israel has achieved a peace. There are fewer rockets being sent into Sderot, there are no rockets to speak of from the North, there has been very little terrorism from the West Bank. It's a kind of peace. I hope for a better and more enduring peace. Peace is not an endgame; we will never be completely at peace.103
Aristotle OnassisWe must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.103
B. H. Liddell HartLoss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness.103
Bill CosbyThere is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God.103
Chester W. NimitzGod grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.103
Dan BrownWell, you know, in any novel you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against, and villains - I find the most interesting villains those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons. Either one is interesting. I love the gray area between right and wrong.103
Eric HofferDisappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.103
Faith RinggoldI'm not so presumptuous to feel that they're gonna get it right away, get exactly what I have in mind. I hope that they'll enjoy looking at it at any rate, whatever it is. And that's why I started writing stories on my work.103
Francois RabelaisI place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.103
Gwen IfillHope springs eternal, even in politics.103
Henning MankellI am not afraid of dying. I have lived longer than most people in the world. What scares me is to have a body that works but a brain that is waving goodbye. If that happens, I hope I die quickly.103
Jim HensonMy hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.103
Ken HillWriting a song is much like being an author. Yes, we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!), but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors.103
Kevin SmithI saw Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the moment when it all seemed possible. This guy gave me hope.103
Kourtney KardashianBeing a mom is what life is about. I hope people realize what the priorities in life should be and know not everything has to be perfect.103
Lex LugerI'm involved in quite a few ministries as a bridge builder, trying to match generous givers and donors to other ministries. Based on my past, I'm also involved in mainly the prison ministry. I go to jails and prisons and share my story, trying to give them some hope.103
Mitt RomneyOur worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.103
Oliver GoldsmithHope is such a bait, it covers any hook.103
Oscar PistoriusPutting on my legs is like putting on my shoes. I understand that's how some people might think differently, but I hope that in London, their perceptions open up.103
Patricia CornwellSurvival was my only hope, success my only revenge.103
Rafael CruzI grew up in Cuba under a strong, military, oppressive dictatorship. So as a teenager, I found myself involved in a revolution. I remember during that time, a young, charismatic leader rose up, talking about hope and change. His name was Fidel Castro.103
Richard RohrThe theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.103
Robert Green IngersollHope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. 103
Robert H. SchullerLet your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future. 103
Salma HayekBeauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not?103
TerenceYou believe that easily which you hope for earnestly. 103
TertullianHope is patience with the lamp lit. 103
ThalesHope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.103
Thomas FrankThere is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington, the place we learned to despise during the last administration.103
Wendy DavisI hope telling the story of how I went from being a single mom to serving in the Texas State Senate to running for governor will remind others that with the right leadership in government, where you start has nothing to do with how far you go.103
Xi JinpingThe vast Pacific Ocean has ample space for China and the United States. We welcome a constructive role by the United States in promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the region. We also hope that the United States will fully respect and accommodate the major interests and legitimate concerns of Asia-Pacific countries.103
Yves Saint LaurentI wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.103
Beverly ClearyI didn't start out writing to give children hope, but I'm glad some of them found it.103
Carlton CuseI feel like if you enjoyed the 119 hours that precede the finale of 'Lost,' is that whole experience ruined by the fact that you might not agree with everything that we did in the finale? I would hope not! I would hope that you would appreciate the fact that you were entertained for 119 hours even if you didn't love the finale.103
Daisy RidleyHope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed.103
Daniel BurnhamMake big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.103
Danny BoyleIt's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.103
Dario ArgentoThe Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.103
Emanuel CleaverHope is the motivation that empowers the unemployed, enabling them to get out of bed every single morning with unbounded enthusiasm as they look for work.103
Farrah FawcettIn the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope, and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever.103
George WeinbergHope never abandons you, you abandon it.103
Gustav HeinemannInsecurity and resignation mingle with the hope for a better order.103
J. B. PriestleyI 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.103
James CameronEvery time you dive, you hope you'll see something new - some new species. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift, sometimes it doesn't.103
James HerriotI hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs.103
Jane McGonigalUrgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success.103
Kim YunaEven in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.103
Medgar EversOur only hope is to control the vote.103
Meir KahaneIf we ever hope to rid the world of the political AIDS of our time, terrorism, the rule must be clear: One does not deal with terrorists; one does not bargain with terrorists; one kills terrorists.103
Paul Thomas AndersonI really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then, y'know, that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.103
Richard JefferiesI desire a greatness of soul, an irradiance of mind, a deeper insight, a broader hope.103
Shashi TharoorI believe in an India of pluralism and diversity, not of religious bigotry and caste politics. I believe in an India that is secure in itself and confident of its place in the world, an India that is a proud example of tolerance, freedom and hope for the downtrodden.103
Storm JamesonHope is a talent like any other. 103
Theodore BikelI have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.103
Wendell PierceWhat thoughts are to the individual, art is to the community as a whole. That's where you reflect on who you are, who you hope to be, what you've gone through, and where you hope to go.103
William AllinghamIf any foes of mine are there, I pardon every one: I hope that man and womankind will do the same by me.103
Aasif Mandvi'Halal in the Family' will expose a broad audience to some of the realities of being Muslim in America. By using satire, we will encourage people to reconsider their assumptions about Muslims, while providing a balm to those experiencing anti-Muslim bias. I also hope those Uncles and Aunties out there will crack a smile!103
Alex CampbellI hope and trust the infinite, the eternal, and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.103
Blair UnderwoodThe hope is they would like to bring it to Broadway next year, so we'll see that's to come in the end of the finance year and everybody else and also real estate and what theaters are available at the time but I would like to come back with it.103
Caleb CushingWe are laying the foundations of a government, which we hope may outlast the Pyramids.103
Carmen Dell'OreficeI was the Kate Moss of my day, atypical of what the public wanted, which was Brigitte Bardot. I was always tall, skinny and angular. But now, society has bought 55 years of my marketing 'Carmen,' and I'm considered beautiful. I hope that empowers older women.103
Eliot EngelIt is my hope that as we commemorate Black History Month in the future, we will continue to celebrate the many achievements and rich culture of African-Americans.103
Kimberly Willis HoltI hope the wonder of what happens to my characters never goes away. That yearning keeps me writing.103
Lesley GarrettI do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.103
Luiz Inacio Lula da SilvaMy greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.103
Michael DickinsonAlthough finding fruit flies in your wine or beer can be a bit annoying, I hope people will pause to admire the tenacity of these clever little creatures. They are really just hungry animals looking for something to eat, and have no intention of ruining your happy hour.103
Michelle PfeifferLike all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.103
Naomi KleinPolitics hates a vacuum. If it isn't filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear.103
Studs TerkelI think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.103
Tsakhiagiin ElbegdorjIt is true that power corrupts. The hope at the polling stations and the actions of the elected representatives, unfortunately, often turn to be opposite. The power of ballot turns into the power of wallet. Some law-makers become law-breakers.103
Alexandra AdornettoHere is just the beginning of a list of skills that exam results cannot possibly hope to reflect: interpersonal skills, the ability to entertain, how articulate we are as speakers, our ability to work as part of a team, the ability to deal with challenges and invention.103
Evan EsarHope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.103
Gustave CourbetI hope to live all my life for my art, without abandoning my principles one iota.103
Kurt HuberI hope to God that the inner strength that will vindicate my deeds will in good time spring forth from my own people. I have done as I had to on the prompting of my inner voice.103
Mario LopezI'm proud of my background, so I hope there will be more roles where Hispanics are being portrayed.103
Samuel UllmanIn the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, you are young.103
Steve TischMy father... very generous, very philanthropic, very charitable man. My siblings and I and my mother continue with always appreciating and always giving back. It's something I hope that I've become a role model for my children.103
Thomas Francis MeagherIt is not only our duty to America, but also to Ireland. We could not hope to succeed in our effort to make Ireland a Republic without the moral and material support of the liberty-loving citizens of these United States.103
Alphonsus LiguoriJust as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.103
Amber Le BonYour parents are always a big influence on you. They help you make you who you are. The main thing my parents taught me is just to be a nice person - to be generous, kind and happy. I hope it comes off when I work and meet people.103
Donald G. MitchellThe sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows.103
Troy BakerI'm always nervous! Especially when it comes to a series like 'Disgaea', where you do have such a devoted fan base, the last thing you want to do is disappoint. But I love playing bad guys and just always hope that fans will be forgiving if I miss the mark.103
Jackie EvanchoMy advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.103
Joe ArpaioI would hope to get together with the Latino community, if I could ever have them talk to me without screaming and threatening me. So I hope to get together with the community and try to explain what we do, so that's going to be one of my missions coming up.103
Robert BridgesI live on hope and that I think do all Who come into this world.103
Justin BaldoniOne of the things I noticed is that people really change when they realize their expiration date is coming, and they know what it is. Most of us don't: we just hope we can live as long as we can and do as much good as we can.103
Joey SkaggsMy challenge as a satirical artist is how to present ideas to people to enable them to question and reexamine their beliefs. My hope is, that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way.103
Abraham LincolnMy dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth. 104
Helen KellerOptimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. 104
Alfred Lord TennysonHope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.' 104
Angela MerkelOvercoming the Cold War required courage from the people of Central and Eastern Europe and what was then the German Democratic Republic, but it also required the steadfastness of Western partner over many decades when many had long lost hope of integration of the two Germanys and Europe.104
Annie LeibovitzMy hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.104
Bob UeckerI hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I've enjoyed doing the games. I don't ever go to the park where I don't have a good day. I don't like losing. But I don't think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don't think once.104
Demi LovatoWhere I am today... I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.104
Ed SheeranWhenever you have an ex, and they're like, 'I hope we can still be friends!' and you weren't friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really?104
Frances PerkinsTo one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods.104
Frank B. KelloggCertain it is that a great responsibility rests upon the statesmen of all nations, not only to fulfill the promises for reduction in armaments, but to maintain the confidence of the people of the world in the hope of an enduring peace.104
George ClooneyI had to stop going to auditions thinking, 'Oh, I hope they like me.' I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.104
Ingmar BergmanI hope I never get so old I get religious.104
Ivan IllichWe must rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation. 104
Jeff KinneyOn the first day of school, you got to be real careful where you sit. You walk into the classroom and just plunk your stuff down on any old desk, and the next thing you know the teacher is saying, 'I hope you all like where you're sitting, because these are your permanent seats.'104
Mick JaggerAnarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.104
Nick VujicicI just hope people see that if God can do something beautiful with my broken pieces, then God truly has a plan for each and everyone of us.104
Octavia ButlerReligion kept some of my relatives alive, because it was all they had. If they hadn't had some hope of heaven, some companionship in Jesus, they probably would have committed suicide, their lives were so hellish.104
Peter BenchleyI hope that 'Jaws' will have brought sharks into the public interest at a time when we desperately need to reevaluate our care for the environment.104
Pliny the ElderHope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man. 104
Taylor MomsenI hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves.104
Tim DuncanAs I hope it doesn't come to the point where I need to take a day off. I feel pretty good right now and I'm not resting or saving for any other game.104
Tom BodettThey say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.104
Tony DorsettYou hope in this life that you grow and don't always repeat your mistakes.104
Vin ScullyI'm going to sit back, light up, and hope I don't chew the cigarette to pieces.104
William S. BurroughsDesperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.104
Willie GeistMy dad is so unique in what he does. It's not like I'm taking a torch from him and doing his thing. I hope I've carried from him a little bit of a sense of irony, a little bit of a wink.104
Alison SweeneyOne of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me.104
Angela AhrendtsIntuition is the wisdom formed by feeling and instinct - a gift of knowing without reasoning... Belief is ignited by hope and supported by facts and evidence - it builds alignment and creates confidence. Belief is what sets energy in motion and creates the success that breeds more success.104
Benjamin BannekerEvil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners.104
Bill OwensFamilies are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide.104
Catherine Zeta-JonesI'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops, but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it's completely controllable. I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.104
Charles IvesBut maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.104
Colum McCannPart of me really wants to believe that hope is entirely available to all of us. We don't have to embrace it. It would be sentimental and silly to say that we all need it, but it is absolutely available to all of us.104
Debi MazarOn the morning of Thanksgiving, I would wake up to the home smelling of all good things, wafting upstairs to my room. I would set the table with the fancy silverware and china and hope that my parents and grandmother wouldn't have the annual Thanksgiving fight about Richard Nixon.104
Edward TufteI hope that I am generous and tolerant, but certainly on the intellectual side I think that there are discoverable truths, and some things that are closer approximations to the truth than others.104
Emanuel CleaverHope fills the holes of my frustration in my heart.104
Emil ZatopekAn athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.104
Geezer ButlerI don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.104
J. C. WattsI think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.104
Jan HusI hope, by God's grace, that I am truly a Christian, not deviating from the faith, and that I would rather suffer the penalty of a terrible death than wish to affirm anything outside of the faith or transgress the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.104
Jeremy CorbynWe are not doing celebrity, personality, abusive politics - we are doing ideas. This is about hope.104
Karl A. MenningerHope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse.104
Kirsten GillibrandWhen we create hope and opportunity in the lives of others, we allow love, decency and promise to triumph over cowardice and hate.104
Lilly PulitzerSeeing Michelle Obama's bright color choices, and how she made people smile and reinforced Obama's platforms of hope and change, was inspiring.104
Lindsey GrahamPresident Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.104
Patricia HighsmithI hope it will be set in California. In a way, I made a mistake, because a New Jersey policeman can't operate that way in New York. But in California, he can move between different counties.104
Roger PenroseMy own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go.104
Ryan SeacrestI hope I can help guys come out and say, 'All right, dude, I got a manicure... and I liked it.'104
Angela KinseyI hope my daughter knows that in our house we can make messes and have fun and we'll laugh through it. Granted I don't want her to trash the house, but we do make a lot of messes.104
Dave GahanTo me, it's always been a challenge to look for the light: to look for those spaces in your heart where there is hope and faith and try to embrace that rather than crush it. I've spent so many years trying to crush those feelings of hope, and I certainly succeeded for quite a while.104
Edmund WallerTo love is to believe, to hope, to know; Tis an essay, a taste of Heaven below!104
Jonas SalkThere is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.104
Melissa EtheridgeThere will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.104
Rick YanceySci-Fi is the genre that explored both possibilities: the end of our existential crisis and the end of our existence. My novel, 'The 5th Wave,' explores the latter scenario, because, frankly, I believe it represents the likeliest outcome of an extraterrestrial encounter. In short, if they're out there, we better hope they never find us.104
William Samuel JohnsonHope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.104
Carl LevinWe have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices.104
Jeffrey ArcherWell I certainly have learned and I hope I'm moving on and certainly two years of prison was a terrible punishment.104
Lauren PotterI hope that when people with Down's see me, they will be inspired to do more than they think they can.104
Marvin GayeI hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.104
Rupert FriendI think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven't yet achieved.104
Samuel UllmanYou are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.104
Ashley MonroeOnce you get everything out of your head about what everybody else is going to think, will radio play it - and I hope they do, I really do - once you shed all of that and just be who you are, that's who I am. That's taken a lot of growing up. I've come into myself musically and as a woman, and I hope to keep growing. If you don't grow, you die.104
Jean AnouilhTragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it.104
Jef I. RichardsAdvertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money.104
Michael NovakWe really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord.104
Richard CecilGod's way of answering the Christian's prayer for more patience, experience, hope and love often is to put him into the furnace of affliction.104
Johnny RamoneI try to make a dent in people when I can. I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.104
Fyodor DostoevskyTo live without Hope is to Cease to live. 105
Benazir BhuttoIt's true that General Musharraf opposes my return, seeing me as a symbol of democracy in the country. He is comfortable with dictatorship. I hope better sense prevails.105
Bryce HarperD.C. fans, I think, are so good. They just come up to me, and they're so nice and so polite and just, 'Hey, I hope you have a great career,' and 'How are you doing, everything's good?' That's pretty much where they leave it at.105
Corazon AquinoFaith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.105
Frank GehryWhen I was a kid, my father didn't really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer; he didn't think I would amount to anything. My mother also.105
Franz BoasI hope I may have succeeded in presenting to you, however imperfectly, the currents of thought due to the work of the immortal Darwin which have helped to make anthropology what it is at the present time.105
Gary JohnsonI hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative.105
Herbie HancockWe need to move into a culture of peace. What I hope to promote is the idea that we all need each other and that the greatest happiness in life is not how much we have but how much we give. That's a wealth that's priceless. You can't buy compassion.105
Ismail HaniyehI hope that Americans will give careful and well-informed thought to root causes and historical realities, in which case I think they will question why a supposedly 'legitimate' state such as Israel has had to conduct decades of war against a subject refugee population without ever achieving its goals.105
Lance ArmstrongIf children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.105
Mr. TMy mother told me, 'Son, nobody else but God knows.' And that's what I'm about - reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That's what I do.105
Norman CousinsThe 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.105
Norman FosterI hope that any expansion of London will learn from the planning examples of some of its most desirable areas such as Chelsea, Notting Hill, Belgravia and Mayfair. All are characterised by high density and a generosity of green spaces. They are all pedestrian-friendly with shops, entertainment, restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance.105
Roger MooreI've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.105
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHe is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.105
Shania TwainI really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.105
Theo JamesI know I often get a job because of how I look. I hope that I keep the job because of how I act.105
Vanessa ParadisI do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life, my most recent life before this, I was absolutely horrible, evil, hideous. Because otherwise - well, hell, to even things up next time around, I'm going to have to pay for this one, am I not?105
William J. ClintonA lot of presidential memoirs, they say, are dull and self-serving. I hope mine is interesting and self-serving.105
William McKinleyThat's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.105
David DinkinsWell, I'm not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished.105
Dionne WarwickWe are all here to be a service to those who can't be a service to themselves. We can give people hope and more reasons for being human.105
Emilio EstevezThere is a part of me that still wants to go out and grab a backpack and unplug - not take a cellphone or even a camera and just get out there and experience the world and travel. I have yet to do that, but someday I hope.105
Erin O'ConnorI am aware it's easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something.105
Georges BernanosHope is a risk that must be run.105
Jack DorseyWhat's interesting about Twitter and the influencers that someone follows - like, say, Shaquille O'Neal - is that they see someone who is using the exact same tools that they have access to, and I think that inspires this hope to be able to really engage with someone like him.105
Junot DiazYou see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.105
Luigi PirandelloLogic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.105
Macaulay CulkinI hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not.105
Michel OnfrayBy aiming for paradise, we lose sight of earth. Hope of a beyond and aspiration to an afterlife engender a sense of futility in the present. If the prospect of getting taken up to paradise generates joy, it is the mindless joy of a baby picked up from his crib.105
Roger GoodellThe one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, 'I made my parents proud.'105
Steven Curtis ChapmanI did nothing to deserve God's love; in fact, I was living as an orphan, without hope. Yet God chose to pursue a relationship with me, and through the death of his son Jesus, I was adopted into God's family.105
Tom ShadyacI hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.105
Tony KushnerYou have to have hope. It's irresponsible to give false hope, which I think a lot of playwrights are guilty of. But I also think it's irresponsible to simply be a nihilist, which quite a lot of playwrights, especially playwrights younger than me, have become guilty of.105
Adam HamiltonWe don't need mandatory, non-sectarian prayers read over the loudspeaker to 'put God back in schools.' God never left the schools. God is still at work through the hundreds of thousands of gifted teachers and administrators, committed parents, and passionate volunteers who seek to help give our children 'a future with hope.'105
Christine GregoireEducation exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope.105
Edward WittenIf I take the theory as we have it now, literally, I would conclude that extra dimensions really exist. They're part of nature. We don't really know how big they are yet, but we hope to explore that in various ways.105
George SavileHope is generally a wrong guide, though it is good company along the way.105
George SteinbrennerAs I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased.105
Janis IanAt the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.105
John Perry BarlowBut groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having.105
William Samuel JohnsonWhatever enlarges hope will also exalt courage.105
Ellen Johnson SirleafThe people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water, but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future.105
Josh HartnettHope is the most exciting thing in life, and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away, there is still that chance all through your life that it will.105
Steven CojocaruThe gift that has been given to me says much about our capacity for great compassion and generosity, and I hope it sends an inspiring message to others about the importance of organ donation.105
John HowardI'm direct, I'm unpretentious and I'm pretty dogged, and I hope I've got a capacity to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously.105
Albert EinsteinLearn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.106
Baruch SpinozaFear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.106
Desmond TutuYour ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.106
EpicurusDo not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.106
Martin LutherEverything that is done in the world is done by hope. 106
Pope FrancisWe must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.106
Rodney DangerfieldAt twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.106
T. S. EliotI said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope, For hope would be hope for the wrong thing. 106
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.Beware how you take away hope from another human being.106
Ravi ZachariasThe simplistic solutions of Deepak Chopra cannot stand against the lofty and deep teachings of Jesus Christ. Only in His answers will we find the ultimate hope for the human heart.106
Alphonse KarrI gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.106
Antonio PorchiaFlowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.106
Ashton KutcherVulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'106
Ben AffleckI'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.106
Bonnie TylerI'd be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don't all start living to be 120. I'm not sure I'd cope with another 60 years.106
Christina RossettiShe gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.106
Desiderius ErasmusIf you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.106
Elizabeth EdwardsBut I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.106
Gil Scott-HeronYour life has to consist of more than 'Black people should unite.' You hope they do, but not twenty-four hours a day.106
Ivo AndricBetween the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.106
John WesleyWhen a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious, trustworthy and prosperous. Now, if that man, when he gets all he can and saves all he can, does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than for that man!106
Jon StewartYou just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things.106
Lucy Maud MontgomeryIn this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends.106
Magic JohnsonAll kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.106
Natalie ColeWhen you have put all your faith in man and continue to be disappointed, don't you hope there is something out of there that is not of human element?106
Nik WallendaI hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies.106
Norman CousinsThe human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription.106
Oscar Hammerstein III know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.106
Pierce BrosnanI think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures.106
Sia FurlerI hope I am a psychotherapist's dream. I've spent enough hours in therapy.106
Stanley HauerwasAt least one reason for trying to live lives that make a difference is that by so living, we hope we will not be forgotten by those who benefit from our trying to make a difference. Yet to try to insure we will not be forgotten too often results in desperate manipulative strategies that are doomed to fail.106
Stevie NicksRight now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.106
Thomas HardyThe sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.106
Valentino GaravaniI hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?'106
Wallace ShawnWe're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country, and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.106
ChristoWe tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it.106
John James AudubonBut Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns.106
Rick PerlsteinMy politics of optimism and hope still casts its lot with the Democrats - in the optimistic hope that the dying embers of its status as the party of our better angels, one that took risks for social justice, can still be fanned into a flame. But I'm an old man, born in 1969.106
Robbie RobertsonA lot of times when you're making a record, you put your head down and charge forward until you're done. You just hope that the ideas hold up, because you're kind of lost in your own storm.106
Sammy SosaDon't compare me to Babe Ruth. God gave me the opportunity and the ability to be here at the right time, at the right moment, just like he gave Babe Ruth when he was playing. I just hope I can keep doing what I've been doing - keep taking care of business.106
Bow WowWhen I see my own people going through the tough times, it's a wake-up call. I hope my influence can impact someone else's decision to get out here and vote.106
Carol VordermanNext year, I hope there will be even more parties, lots of holidays and just having a good time, really. Plus wing-walking, air shows and learning to fly, as they are all things I want to do. I won't be restricted by age.106
David Ben-GurionAnyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.106
John GreenI'm a big believer in pairing classics with contemporary literature, so students have the opportunity to see that literature is not a cold, dead thing that happened once but instead a vibrant mode of storytelling that's been with us a long time - and will be with us, I hope, for a long time to come.106
Studs TerkelWith optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.106
Janine di GiovanniEaster is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.106
Sheldon WhitehouseHow arrogant - how very far from humility - would be the self-satisfied, smug assurance that God, a tidy-up-after-us God will come and clean up our mess? Hope for a nanny God, who will with a miracle grant us amnesty from our folly - that's not aligned with either history or the text of the Bible.106
Alva MyrdalWe can hope that men will understand that the interest of all are the same, that hope lies in cooperation. We can then perhaps keep PEACE.106
John BradshawThe unlimited power that many modern gurus offer is false hope. Their programs calling us to unlimited power have made them rich, not us. They touch our false selves and tap our toxic shame.106
John GayThe comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits.106
Maya AngelouLove recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.107
Kurt CobainIf you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.107
Jack KerouacI hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.107
John AdamsPosterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.107
Anne LamottWhen hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens.107
Bill WaltonThe Grateful Dead, they're my best friends. Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, imagination, celebration, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion all of the things I believe in makes me the luckiest Deadhead in the world.107
Carine RoitfeldPregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby.107
Christina RossettiHope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.107
Christopher WalkenThere are people who are able to plan their career, their future, but I've never had any talent for that. I just do things and hope for the best. Say yes, take a chance, and sometimes it's terrific and sometimes it's not.107
Dane CookWe all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments.107
David BlaineI hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder.107
Denis LearyI want you to take away the hope because that's the thing that's killing me.107
Donnie YenI certainly hope 'Dragon' can leave some legacy behind.107
Francoise SaganI always believe things are going to work out.107
Jim HensonWhen I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.107
John UpdikeProfessionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring - an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed.107
Miguel de UnamunoIf it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it; let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory.107
Nick VujicicHope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.107
Paul TillichI hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.107
Ruth Bader GinsburgSo that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.107
Stanley KubrickThe screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.107
Thabo MbekiThe poor prey on one another because their lives offer no hope and communicate the tragic message to these human beings that they have no possibility to attain a decent standard of living.107
Cory MonteithI think if you show up and you work hard and you're straightforward, you can always create your own opportunities. I hope I'm right.107
Jim RamstadEmbryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.107
Maeve BinchyMy mother hoped I would meet a nice doctor or barrister or accountant who would marry me and take me to live in what is now called Fashionable Dublin Four. But she felt that this was a vain hope. I was a bit loud to make a nice professional wife, and anyway, I was too keen on spending my holidays in far flung places to meet any of these people.107
Maria BamfordI never really thought of myself as depressed so much as paralyzed by hope.107
Mariella FrostrupOnly those with skin as thick as elephant hide can hope to sail through their teens unscathed by self-doubt and bouts of depression.107
Chloe Grace MoretzI hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can.107
David D. BurnsDepression can seem worse than terminal cancer, because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem.107
Jonathan WintersI find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you.107
Ma JianMy hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech, and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas, but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.107
Mahmoud AbbasWe need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard.107
Steve SabolYou know how I came up with the name 'Road to the Super Bowl?' It's an homage to the old Bob Hope - Bing Crosby buddy movies - you know, like 'Road to Zanzibar' or 'Road to Morocco.' Can you tell? All I've done my whole life is go to movies.107
Mark HoppusAll I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.107
Robert WalpoleAnd therefore, for the sake of my mater, without any regard for my own, I hope all those that have a due regard for our constitution and for the rights and prerogatives of the crown, without which our constitution can not be preserved, will be against this motion.107
Jonathan BrandisHowever, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face!107
Dalai LamaWhen we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. Thanks to the teachings of Buddha, I have been able to take this second way.108
Walt DisneyI only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse. 108
Bertrand RussellExtreme hopes are born from extreme misery.108
Thich Nhat HanhHope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.108
Elbert HubbardA little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.108
Hilaire BellocWhen I am dead, I hope it may be said: His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.108
Jacques Yves CousteauIf 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.108
Martha BeckHopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.108
Muhammad Ali JinnahPakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other will share with us.108
Rebecca SolnitRevolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass.108
Rudy GiulianiWhen people endure a traumatic event, they are either defeated or made stronger. On Sept. 11, I told New Yorkers, 'I want you to emerge stronger from this.' My words were partially a hope and partially an observation that people in New York City handle big things better than little things. I could not be more proud of the way my city responded.108
Whoopi GoldbergWhen you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.108
William CowperAbsence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.108
Yayoi KusamaI hope royalty continues forever. This is the thing that can contribute to peace throughout the world.108
David RakoffI'm not sure. But that bless-his/her-heart kind of melancholic humor is among my favorite things in the world. I guess it exposes a kind of humanity - or that's the hope, at least - a kind of grudging respect for human frailty. Unless it's actually kicking human frailty while it's down - I'm not sure.108
Niger InnisWhen you take out individual initiative, individual responsibility, and the hope that every individual is born with, to better their lives, to climb the economic ladder, to pursue happiness, that is, in fact, a neoslavery.108
Taylor LautnerI hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.108
Teri GarrYou can be diagnosed and treated early. And there is hope for the future.108
Willem de KooningThe attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.108
Arthur EddingtonIf your theory is found to be against the second law of theromodynamics, I give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.108
John CiardiA good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.108
Mahalia JacksonBlues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.108
Marvin SappSome men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.108
Stephenie MeyerIt's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't. But gosh, if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted, I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then, I wouldn't get it right.108
Abraham LincolnAll that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. 109
Barack ObamaIn the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?109
Elie WieselHope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.109
Erma BombeckWhen I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.109
Alan SugarThere is a lot of luck in football. Following England is like following Wycombe Wanders or Leyton Orient. You hope for the best and hope you are lucky.109
Bernie SiegelIf we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself.109
Charlize TheronI can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.109
Chuck DI spread the message of hope and of unity. That's what gets me up in the morning. I can tell you what is wrong, but I can't tell you how to fix it. I'm a raptivist, not a politician. I deal in hope.109
Claude DebussyThe attraction of the virtuoso for the public is very like that of the circus for the crowd. There is always the hope that something dangerous will happen.109
Daisaku IkedaThere are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.109
Franz SchubertEvery night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.109
Harlan CobenHope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.109
Ivan IllichAt the moment of death I hope to be surprised.109
Jesse JacksonToday's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.109
Kate WinsletActing, and the privilege of being able to do it for a living, is so important to me. I don't turn up and just hope for the best. I really fret about it. I do my homework; I prepare myself for the experience of playing a particular character.109
Les DawsonMy mother-in-law said, 'One day I will dance on your grave.' I said 'I hope you do; I will be buried at sea.'109
Muhammad Ali JinnahMy message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.109
Nancy ReaganNow science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp.109
Neil PeartI'm learning all the time. I'm evolving all the time as a human being. I'm getting better, I hope, in all of the important ways.109
Norman FosterI hope that any expansion of London will learn from the planning examples of some of its most desirable areas such as Chelsea, Notting Hill, Belgravia and Mayfair. All are characterised by high density and a generosity of green spaces.109
Orson Scott CardI hope I am remembered by my children as a good father.109
Peter JacksonIf justice is supposed to be fair, than any justice system you would hope is based on fairness.109
Queen Rania of JordanWhen you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.109
Sarah Ban BreathnachExpect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.109
Tim DuncanI'm not worried about that, as I hope it doesn't come to the point where I need to take a day off. I feel pretty good right now and I'm not resting or saving for any other game. I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.109
Tracy ChapmanI meet people in my daily life, people who seem to experience some change and some growth on a personal level, and that gives me hope.109
Amy TanI think I've always been somebody, since the deaths of my father and brother, who was afraid to hope. So, I was more prepared for failure and for rejection than for success.109
Bruce BartonAction and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.109
Danica McKellarI know we can't always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural - no epidural, no interventions. Wish me luck.109
Dean KoontzLike all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.109
Herb CaenI hope I go to Heaven, and when I do, I'm going to do what every San Franciscan does when he gets there. He looks around and says, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.'109
Jan HusI, Master John Hus, in chains and in prison, now standing on the shore of this present life and expecting on the morrow a dreadful death, which will, I hope, purge away my sins, find no heresy in myself, and accept with all my heart any truth whatsoever that is worthy of belief.109
Mario BalotelliEven if I don't always behave as I should, this still doesn't explain why so many people have something against me. But you know how it is. A lot of people vent themselves by coming to the stadium to yell at me. I hope it's not racism. I tell myself that it's not racism; it's because I'm tough, and I repeat this to myself.109
Michael FrantiI hope I inspire people to dream bigger than what they are living, but a dream within their reach.109
Michael MorpurgoWherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.109
Adam HamiltonMany Christians do not believe God sends tornadoes. But they do believe that God walks with His children through the storms, that He sends His people to help after the storms, and that with and through God, there is always hope.109
Elizabeth BibescoWe often call a certainty a hope, to bring it luck.109
John CiardiEvery parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal, with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope.109
Jordin SparksI love being able to sing for my job. I am blessed beyond words and I hope my fans can feel that while I'm on stage!109
Charles Spurgeon'You are no saint,' says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.110
Dale CarnegieMost of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.110
George W. BushI'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.110
Allen IversonMan, I'm 31 years old and a husband with four kids; I hope I'm no thug. I hear all those negative things and don't hear anything positive. I think that's all those people feel... that way that's all they hear about when you hear Allen Iverson did something negative or something.110
Barney FrankI hope we will not so characterize religious people as being so narrow and so biased towards people not of their own religion that they cannot even work with them in this common cause to which you say they are committed.110
Christopher ReeveDon't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out. 110
Daisaku IkedaWhen one takes action for others, one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward; a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.110
Edward GibbonHope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition.110
Erik EriksonThere is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding, which constitutes a new hope and a new responsibility for all.110
Greg GraffinI have great hope and faith, but it's a humanistic faith based in facts; you have to believe that facts exist. We can all arrive at the same facts if we engage in the process of experimentation, observation, and verification, which can solve more of the world's major problems than a debate over whether God does or doesn't exist.110
Joseph AddisonThree grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. 110
N. R. Narayana MurthyWhen you run a part of the relay and pass on the baton, there is no sense of unfinished business in your mind. There is just the sense of having done your part to the best of your ability. That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon.110
Omar KhayyamThe Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes - or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two - is gone.110
Robert Griffin IIII hope somebody falls in love with me - other than my fiancee. But that's what you want. As a player you want a team that really wants you; head coach, GM, owner, everybody that really wants you in their place and the players believe in you. I'm looking forward to making somebody fall in love with me.110
Virginia PostrelCosmetics makers have always sold 'hope in a jar' - creams and potions that promise youth, beauty, sex appeal, and even love for the women who use them.110
Yves Saint LaurentI have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.110
Brooke ShieldsThe difficulty of IVF or of any fertility issues is the hope and the shattered hope, the dream that it might happen this time and then it doesn't happen.110
Lady GregoryOnce in my childhood I had been eager to learn Irish; I thought to get leave to take lessons from an old Scripture-reader who spent a part of his time in the parish of Killinane, teaching such scholars as he could find to read their own language in the hope that they might turn to the only book then being printed in Irish, the Bible.110
Mark HaddonI don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me, writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are, you come out and hope that no one runs away.110
Tryon EdwardsCompromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.110
Jesse Tyler FergusonChemistry is one of these crazy things you can't teach or learn or you can't fake. You go in hoping it will work, hope that you will connect with the other actors. I was fortunate on 'Modern Family' and 'The Procession.' They are great people, very easy to like.110
Juliana HatfieldFor a long time, music was hope. Now it seems music isn't enough to make me happy. It used to be that's all I needed to keep going. Now I need other things to take up the other parts of my life.110
Studs TerkelI hope for peace and sanity - it's the same thing.110
Jessica ValentiI hope that by modeling feminism in my own life, work and relationships that it will haut become an organic part of my daughter's life. But I'm also fully prepared for her to become a Republican as a way to rebel as a teenager - that would be just my luck!110
Arnold BennettJournalists say a thing that they know isn't true, in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true.110
Vaclav HavelHope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.111
Demetri MartinI think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'111
Chuck PalahniukIf you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning.111
Dianne FeinsteinIt is my hope that the number of stem cell lines available for federally-funded research will be expanded so that the government can continue to participate in this vital research and provide hope to the millions of Americans with diseases that might be cured.111
Friedrich DurrenmattThe world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.111
Hunter HayesI want to find someone who's really into something like I'm really into something, so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.111
Jack WhiteWhen you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.111
Joseph ConradWoe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.111
Martha BeckWhether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.111
Mia HammI hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.111
Noel CowardLet's drink to the spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell, and let's drink to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again.111
Patti SmithBringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man. The idea of redemption is always good news, even if it means sacrifice or some difficult times.111
Thomas CarlyleHe who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. 111
Mahmoud DarwishWithout hope we are lost.111
Juliana HatfieldI don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.111
Jenson ButtonWe go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.111
Maximillian DegenerezHope and wishes for all that delights will sour in the midst of action not taken and words unsaid.111
Anne FrankI simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.112
Franklin D. RooseveltWe have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.112
Gore VidalFifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent.112
Al GoreI'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.112
B. C. ForbesHe who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.112
Bobby KnightWhen I first started coaching, one of the worst things that I think I heard was 'It will be O.K.' I would wonder, 'How the hell is it going to be O.K.?' The worst word in the English language is 'hope.'112
Carine RoitfeldI'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun.112
Felix DennisAmerica is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.112
Grace SlickYou can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons.112
James E. FaustAll parents hope and pray that their children will make wise decisions. Children who are obedient and responsible bring to their parents unending pride and satisfaction.112
Jeff BuckleyI don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.112
John MayerI hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.112
John OliverI get nostalgic for British negativity. There is an inherent hope and positive drive to New Yorkers. When you go back to Britain, everybody is just running everything down. It's like whatever the opposite of a hug is.112
Jose RizalI may be what my enemies desire me to be, yet never an accusation are they able to hurl against me which makes me blush or lower my forehead; and I hope that God will be merciful enough with me, to prevent me from committing one of those faults which would involve my family.112
Khloe KardashianI'm thrilled to continue my partnership with U by Kotex for Generation Know while helping to empower girls. I've always been a motivational resource for my younger sisters and hope I can positively impact and inspire other young girls too.112
Martin SeligmanThe fundamentalist religions simply seem to offer more hope for a brighter future than do the more liberal, humanistic ones.112
Nicole KidmanI would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it's all very upfront. I can't hide it. I'm also loyal and I hope I'm fun.112
Patti DavisAnd as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.112

Thomas FullerIf it were not for hopes, the heart would break.112

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.113
Vaclav HavelHope 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.113
John WayneTomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday. 113
Mattie StepanekGod gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.113
Anne LamottMost of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.113
Arnold H. GlasowExpecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope.113
Aziz AnsariWriting your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.113
Barbara KingsolverFew people know so clearly what they want. Most people can't even think what to hope for when they throw a penny in a fountain.113
Bobby FlayMy contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.113
Ellen G. WhiteThe great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love.113
Gustave FlaubertLove is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.113

Orison Swett MardenThere is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.113
Rose KennedyWhat greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?113
Saint BasilTo lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him.113
Stephen Jay GouldFew tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.113
William J. ClintonI still believe in a place called Hope.113
William Jennings BryanI hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.113

Queen Elizabeth III hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.114
AaliyahAll I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.114
Brian EnoDemocracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people.114
Cat Stevens'Peace Train' is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.114
Christopher LaschThe hope of a new politics does not lie in formulating a left-wing reply to the right-it lies in rejecting conventional political categories.114
Garth BrooksWhatever I do, I hope it's quality, I hope it's something that's class.114
Gertrude SteinIt is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.114
Louis FarrakhanI am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.114
Salman KhanSometimes I feel I hope I am not taking advantage of my stardom.114

Spike LeeRight now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.114
Tom DeLongeI don't believe that I'm better than anybody, but I do believe that I'll try harder than most and I hope that people just join me for a little bit of a ride.114
William HazlittThe most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.114
John BoehnerWe hope President Obama will now respect the will of the people, change course, and commit to making the changes they are demanding. To the extent he is willing to do this, we are ready to work with him.114
John DrydenWhen I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.114
James LarkinWe are now on the threshold of a newer movement, with a newer hope and a new inspiration.114
Vaclav HavelIsn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.115
John AdamsWhen people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.115
Ravi ZachariasOutside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life.115
Richard P. FeynmanIt is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.115
Chief JosephI hope that no more groans of wounded men and women will ever go to the ear of the Great Spirit Chief above, and that all people may be one people.115
James E. FaustThe evil influence of Satan would destroy any hope we have in overcoming our mistakes. He would have us feel that we are lost and that there is no hope. In contrast, Jesus reaches down to us to lift us up.115
Lauren BacallI hope I'm thought of as not just a showbiz personality, but as someone who has lived a life and who has hopefully made a contribution to something along the way - someone who is a human being as well as an actress.115
Louis FarrakhanI hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.115
Miranda HartI'm quite a confident person in many ways, but there's only so much you can hear about being compared to Hattie Jacques. For the record, she was a comedy goddess, but she was 25 stone. I hope I'm right in saying I'm not in any way nearly 25 stone.115
Nick VujicicHope and purpose in this world is living as best as you can and maybe having life that gives back. But simply giving back isn't purpose; it's a branch of purpose, but it is not the trunk or root of the tree.115
Sonia SotomayorMy hope is that I will take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them further into areas with which I am unfamiliar. I simply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage.115
Patrick SwayzeIf you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it, and remember thats not who you are. If you live past that, then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist.115
Bill VaughanWe hope that, when the insects take over the world, they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics.115
AristotleHope is a waking dream. 116
Muhammad AliAli's got a left, Ali's got a right - when he knocks you down, you'll sleep for the night; and when you lie on the floor and the ref counts to ten, hope and pray that you never meet me again.116
Gerald R. FordI would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.116
Louis FarrakhanAnd I hope that five years and 10 years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.116

Pope Benedict XVIToday we bury his remains in the earth as a seed of immortality. Our hearts are full of sadness, yet at the same time of joyful hope and profound gratitude.116
Salman KhanI was close to getting married a long time ago. But it didn't happen, and since then it has not been happening. It is jinxed, and I am very happy. I hope this jinx continues.116
John BergerThe point about hope is that it is something that occurs in very dark moments. It is like a flame in the darkness; it isn't like a confidence and a promise.116
Johnny WeirI'm different, and I have to be a warrior to be that way. But I have had some success; I hope I have touched the lives of some wonderful people, all by being what I see as myself but some others people see as different.116
Winston ChurchillAll the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.117
David HumeA propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty.117
Vaclav HavelHope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.117
Victoria OsteenThere are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied - 'I have no control over if I'm going to lose my job.' 'I have no control over if I'm going to be able to pay my bills.' You've got to realize that that's where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith.117
Charles M. SchulzYesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.117
Chris PineA lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.117
George LucasThe secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to because if you're really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.117
Herman MelvilleHope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity.117
Joni MitchellMy childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didn't mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But it's good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.117
Judy GarlandI've seen the ticket, and I still can't believe it. When I see the money, I hope I don't hit the floor.117
Mignon McLaughlinHope is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent.117
Ogden NashMiddle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you.117
Russell SimmonsI try to make my life about service, and hope that one day we can all 'see' a little better because God is with everyone and everywhere.117
StendhalIn love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.117
Wendell BerryThe care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.117
William Makepeace ThackerayIt is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.117
Alan MooreNo matter how powerful our political and religious leaders think they are, they are as dust before the immense and implacable forces of history and progress. I just hope that they don't make too much of a mess or take too many more people down with them.117
John le CarreMost people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader's daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage.117
Lillian HellmanThings start out as hopes and end up as habits.117
Patrick SwayzeTogether we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse.117
Jesse Tyler FergusonAs an actor, you just want to work, and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love, and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality, it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.117
Maya AngelouMy great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.118
Edmund BurkePeople crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.118
Robert E. LeeI tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.118

Arthur AsheI have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.118
Charles StanleyHope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.118
Douglas HortonWe are all serving a life sentence, and good behavior is our only hope for a pardon.118
Emile M. CioranWe would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.118

Keanu ReevesI've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.118
Kristin ArmstrongRunning fills a need so we make fewer demands on others. Running reveals the roots of negative thinking, so the weeds can be pulled. Running reconnects the soul to the source, inspiring hope and creativity.118
Thom YorkeWell, 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.118
Tim TebowMy No. 1 focus was on my foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation, to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in the darkest hour of need.118
Ursula K. Le GuinIt is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope.118
Ranbir KapoorPersonally, love is very important for me. There are lots of ordinary things in life, so love should be extraordinary. I hope I achieve that.118
Thomas AquinasFaith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.119
Thomas MertonSolitude 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.119
Dante AlighieriAll hope abandon, ye who enter here!119
Scarlett JohanssonI hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn't have any cellulite then.119
Bill NyeI hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.119
Christian BaleMy hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.119
Chuck PalahniukOf the big horror movies of the '70s, you have 'The Omen,' 'The Sentinel,' 'Rosemary's Baby,' 'The Stepford Wives,' 'Burnt Offerings' - these are all romantic fatalist movies where there's a sort of glimmer of hope... but darkness wins.119
James E. FaustHope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope - young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor.119
Max LucadoOne of the greatest gifts we can give people is the hope that their death is nothing to fear - you know, not that it has no fear in it, but the promise of scripture is that God will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.119
Akshay KumarOn every birthday, I ask my wife, 'What would you like this year?' and her instant reply is, 'Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!' I'm always living in hope that one day she'll say she just wants me!119
Amy TanYou write a book and you hope somebody will go out and pay $24.95 for what you've just said. I think books were my salvation. Books saved me from being miserable.119
Jeanne MoreauLife is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden, so there is a lot of work.119
Immanuel KantAll the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?120

Niccolo MachiavelliWar is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.120
Vaclav HavelHope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.120
Calvin CoolidgeLittle progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.120
Bryant H. McGillWhile it is important for people to see your promise you must also remember that hope is the keeper of both happiness and disappointment, the father of both progress and failure.120
Malcolm ForbesWhen things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.120
Seamus HeaneyI have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one's own sense of oneself. Every now and again, you write a poem that gives you self-respect and steadies your going a little bit farther out in the stream. At the same time, you have to conjure the next stepping stone because the stream, we hope, keeps flowing.120
Alan MooreThere's a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future.120
Francis BaconHope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.121
Pope John Paul III hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing.121
Iyanla VanzantI hope that my story, I hope that my life is... an encouragement for people, especially in Brooklyn. I feel humbled and blessed.121
Jane GoodallI did this book 'Harvest for Hope,' and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.121
Fran LebowitzYou can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.121
Madonna CicconeI hope that I inspire women to believe in themselves, no matter where they come from; no matter what education they have; what particular background they originate from.121
Norman CousinsHope is independent of the apparatus of logic.121
EpictetusWe should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope. 122
Marcus GarveyChance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people.122
Andrea BocelliI've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope. If it were offered to me? Never say never. But I wouldn't kill or steal to have my sight. My blindness doesn't define my life.122
Charles M. SchulzA whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.122
Daisaku IkedaA person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.122
Jacques Yves CousteauThe sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.122
Jimmy FallonWhen I was a kid, you would tune in to 'The Tonight Show' before you went to sleep. Johnny Carson. A big treat. I know it's a privilege of mine to be able to be in people's homes. So I hope I make everyone proud, including my parents, and do a good job in this.122
Sonia SotomayorSo many people grew up with challenges, as I did. There weren't always happy things happening to me or around me. But when you look at the core of goodness within yourself - at the optimism and hope - you realize it comes from the environment you grew up in.122
Trent ReznorMy music, I hope, takes 100% of your concentration. I know how to do that.122

F. Scott FitzgeraldI'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.123
Katrina KaifYou don't really know how your film is going to turn out, but you can give it your best shot and hope the audience loves it. This has been my approach right from the beginning, and it's helped me a lot in my journey. All you can do is give the film your everything.123
Marlee MatlinI hope that through my example, such as my role on 'The West Wing,' I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything... except hear.123
Karl PilkingtonWhen I go on holiday and people ask me what I do, I tell them I do some internet stuff and I've done a couple of books and I hope they just leave it at that.124
Richard M. NixonIn the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.124
Joyce MeyerOver the years I've learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.124
Zig ZiglarYou can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.124
Liam NeesonI certainly notice the vitality in Belfast, which wasn't there in the Seventies. There was a war going on then. Now there are cranes everywhere. There really is a sense of renewal and hope.124
Mitt RomneyTogether we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.124
Regina BrettI usually give a book 40 pages. If it doesn't grab me by then, adios. With young adult books, you can usually tell by Page 4 if it's worth the time. The author establishes the conflict early, sometimes in the first sentence. The themes of hope, family, friendship and overcoming hardship appeal to most everyone.124
Steve WozniakIn the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.124
Maria SharapovaA great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible.124
Michael JordanI hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.125
A. P. J. Abdul KalamOver the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.125
Douglas RushkoffOccupy Wall Street is meant more as a way of life that spreads through contagion, creates as many questions as it answers, aims to force a reconsideration of the way the nation does business and offers hope to those of us who previously felt alone in our belief that the current economic system is broken.125
Herman CainIt's time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain't working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.125

John OrtbergThe church is in the hope business. We, of all people, ought to be known most for our hope because our hope is founded on something deeper than human ability or wishful thinking.125
Thomas JeffersonI hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.126
John RuskinMan's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.126
Brian GreeneVery much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the realm of current technology we hope to test. It's not like we're working on a theory that is permanently beyond experiment. That would be philosophy.126
Derek JeterGod, I hope I wear this jersey forever.126
John Henrik ClarkeAnytime someone says your God is ugly and you release your God and join their God, there is no hope for your freedom until you once more believe in your own concept of the 'deity.'126
OvidMy hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.126
Salman KhanI feel blessed that I haven't seen or felt real pain to be immune to it. But I am dreading the time it comes. I feel blessed to have everything going fine. My parents' health is good, my brothers are well-settled, I have a great brother-in-law and my own career is doing fine. I hope and pray that I am fit and fine always.126
Billy GrahamGod's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.201

Alan DershowitzI've had such a satisfying life professionally and personally. I hope my tombstone says, 'Never boring.'201
Billy CorganLike any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.201
Gerard WayThere was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope.201
Keanu ReevesYou want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.201
Robert BrowningLove, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.201
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThere are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.202
Leonardo DiCaprioI have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did.202
Patti SmithGood news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.202
Paul WalkerI hope I'm in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons, or to sustain a certain marquee value.202
Ayn RandWhen I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is.203
Noam ChomskyThe murder of Lumumba, in which the U.S. was involved, in the Congo destroyed Africa's major hope for development. Congo is now total horror story, for years.203
Samuel JohnsonWhat we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.203
Walt DisneyI would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.204
Dolly PartonThe only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.204
Edgar Allan PoeThe ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.204
George EliotBut what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.204
John LennonAnd God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer God... They'll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.204
Demetri MartinMy favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'204
William WordsworthNot without hope we suffer and we mourn.204
Harvey MackayDon't fall in love with your wit. Your cleverly turned phrase may not, as you hope, show off how much gray matter you have, especially if the phrase is at someone else's expense.204
Jim CarreyOne thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.204
Mason CooleyEvery day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed.204
Penn JilletteA lot of people, to attack an outspoken atheist, one of the things they'll do is say, 'You are as bad as the fundamentalist Christians.' And my answer is always, 'I hope so.'204
Robin S. SharmaCynicism stems from disappointment. Cynical and faithless people were not always like that. They were filled with possibilities and hope as kids. But they tried and perhaps failed.204
Simon MainwaringAny institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.204
Napoleon BonaparteCourage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment. 205

FaustWhen someone died in the wilderness of frontier America, that person's physical remains were buried and the handcarts continued west, but the mourning survivors had hope for their loved one's eternal soul. However, when someone dies spiritually in the wilderness of sin, hope may be replaced by dread and fear for the loved one's eternal welfare.206
Marco RubioConservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.206
Dalai LamaI totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.207
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI 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.207
Francois de La RochefoucauldHope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.207
Marilyn MansonYou might find me outside with a can of hair spray, spraying it with the hope that the sun will burn a hole in the Earth. Another part of me hopes people will grow up and evolve and get smarter. That's the paradox of Marilyn Manson.207
Zig ZiglarPeople are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.207

Thomas S. MonsonI hope with all my heart and soul that every young man who receives the priesthood will honor that priesthood and be true to the trust which is conveyed when it is conferred. May each of us who holds the priesthood of God know what he believes.207
Simon SinekThe most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.208
AdeleI doubt I'll be singing forever, because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music, and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.208

Oscar WildeThis suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.209
David AttenboroughI had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won't be lost.209
Rush LimbaughThe future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope.209
Carl JungMan is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.210

Vladimir PutinStalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be.211
John MayerI'm not deluded enough to think that everyone who knows my name is a listener. You know, I hope that part of that interest - part of that public interest - has to do with me still making records that people like.211
Robert Green IngersollIn the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.211

Nelson MandelaI have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.213
Joel OsteenI always try to put a seed of hope into people's hearts. I'm not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.213
David SuzukiIt doesn't give me any satisfaction to think that my concerns will be validated by my grandchildren's generation. I would love to be wrong in everything.

Robert H. SchullerIt is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.216
Jane AustenSelfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure. 218

Robert Green IngersollHope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.302

Ernest HemingwayI've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.309
James E. FaustOur greatest hope comes from the knowledge that the Savior broke the bands of death. His victory came through His excruciating pain, suffering, and agony. He atoned for our sins if we repent.309
