Bernie Siegel | Feelings aroused by the touch of someone's hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith - all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well. | 101 |

Kirk Cameron | It is my goal to love everyone. I hate no one. Regardless of their race, religion, their proclivities, the desire of their heart and how they want to live their life and the decisions that they make. I can even respect people's decisions and lifestyle choices just as I hope they have the courtesy to respect my decisions and my choices. | 101 |
Larry the Cable Guy | I was always a fan of the old-style comics. I loved vaudeville. I loved Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Phyllis Diller, Don Rickles, Charlie Callas, all those guys. Hilarious. I love the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope movies, and Abbott & Costello. My television influences were 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' 'Benny Hill,' and 'Hee Haw.' | 101 |
Lewis B. Smedes | Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future. | 101 |
Lily James | I'm learning a lot about how to be one of the 'good' actors. You'd hope that it's natural to be a good person, and kind, but I'm learning how to deal with long, sometimes boring days. | 101 |

Ozzie Smith | We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything. | 101 |
Penn Jillette | Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don't need religion. | 101 |

I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately. | 101 |

Lou Diamond Phillips | Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie. | 101 |
Mario Testino | However 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 |
Matthew Bourne | When it comes down to it, it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and that's why people come back, I hope. | 101 |
Michael D. Higgins | I hope that at the end of the seven years, people will say that I have been of some inspirational value to them at home in terms of inclusiveness and abroad, I look forward to representing Ireland. | 101 |

Paul Tsongas | America is hope. It is compassion. It is excellence. It is valor. | 101 |

Dexter Filkins | The 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. Will this happen? It's impossible to predict, of course. We will only know if we get there. | 101 |
Ed Bradley | Be prepared, work hard, and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have. | 101 |

Graeme Base | I 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. I don't think I'm a terribly good grown-up; I don't take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I'm absolutely appalling. | 101 |
Harry Bridges | There will always be a place for us somewhere, somehow, as long as we see to it that working people fight for everything they have, everything they hope to get, for dignity, equality, democracy, to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life. | 101 |
Harry Nilsson | I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living. | 101 |
Jenny Lewis | I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out. | 101 |
John Piper | Darkness 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. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope. | 101 |
Jonas Salk | Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality. | 101 |
Kip Moore | I 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. I think there's definitely been sorrow in my life, good and bad. I think it comes through. I hope it comes through in my writing because to me that's what artistry is. | 101 |

If you're an immigrant, you know you'll never be an accepted part of society, but you hope your children will be, and you try to make them essential to the community in a practical way - being a doctor or a lawyer. Acting was beyond their comprehension. | 101 |
Sara Zarr | We 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 |
Stephen Ambrose | The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future. | 101 |

April Winchell | I wish you a tolerable Thursday. That's all any of us can hope for. | 101 |
Abbie Cornish | I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice.

The only thing that I hope is that people are educated, that they're aware, that they're living a conscious lifestyle. | 101 |
Bahman Ghobadi | I used to believe that people are only born once, but now I feel I have been reborn, like I was given a new life. I see myself as a child, full of energy and hope. | 101 |
Derek Kilmer | Why do people play the lottery, or why do people gamble, period? You know, it's with the hope of winning something more. | 101 |
Donald Davis | I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place. | 101 |
Ernie Fletcher | I would like this to be a new day. I would hope now that we can focus on doing the people's business. | 101 |

Kurt Bills | My hope is that people begin to understand what the fiscal realities are - how economic virtue differs from political virtue - and develop a realization of their individual economic philosophy in comparison to their perceived political ideology. | 101 |
Lennart Nilsson | The chemistry of love is something which is extremely extremely unbelievable. This is something we have planned for more than two years, so I hope that we are going to start in the beginning of next year. | 101 |
Matthew Prior | Hope is but the dream of those who wake. | 101 |
Peter James | I get asked to read new works a lot, in the hope that I will give a quotation and I will only give a 'puff' for a book I truly love. | 101 |
Philip Greenspun | We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum. | 101 |
Spencer Bachus | For generations, America has served as a beacon of hope and freedom for those outside her borders, and as a land of limitless opportunity for those risking everything to seek a better life. Their talents and contributions have continued to enrich our country. | 101 |

Anwar Sadat | There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones. | 101 |
Asghar Farhadi | Iranian filmmakers are not passive. They fight whenever they can, as creative expression means a lot to them. The restrictions and censorship in Iran are a bit like the British weather: one day it's sunny, the next day it's raining. You just have to hope you walk out into the sunshine. | 101 |
Bob Latta | Everyone wants clean air and clean water, but my hope is that we will not regulate it to the point where we drive businesses and industries out of this country, to the point where entrepreneurs cannot start or expand their businesses because they simply can't afford to do so. | 101 |
Brendan O'Carroll | Anyone who thinks they can write the perfect comedy that everyone will love is a fool. I can only write what I think is funny and hope that there is a likeminded audience out there. | 101 |
David Hanson | Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy. So, if they achieve human level intelligence or, quite possibly, greater than human levels of intelligence, this could be the seeds of hope for our future. | 101 |
David Simon | Albert Camus, a great humanist and existentialist voice, pointed out that to commit to a just cause with no hope of success is absurd. But then, he also noted that not committing to a just cause is equally absurd. But only one choice offers the possibility for dignity. And dignity matters. Dignity matters. | 101 |
Des Browne | The 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 Montgomery | I'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 |
Gabrielle Roy | My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness. | 101 |
George Chakiris | No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible. | 101 |
Jack Whitehall | I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old. | 101 |

Jim Lampley | I wear my wedding ring. We talk about when we're going to get married again, which we hope is going to take place some time in this incredibly hectic calendar year. | 101 |
King George II | Mad, is he? Then I hope he will bite some of my other generals. | 101 |

Ron Suskind | The substance of faith is a hope in the unseen. | 101 |

T. R. Knight | I 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 Baldwin | I 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 Garfield | I hope that I'm always struggling, really. You develop when you're struggling. When you're struggling, you get stronger. | 101 |
Austin Stowell | I 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. I tried to be just friendly and outgoing. I was class president. I'm supposed to run my class reunion in 2013. | 101 |
Basil Hume | The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake. | 101 |
Dan Abrams | Some people think I'm a total moron and I would hope most people think I'm very good at what I do. | 101 |

John Buchan | The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. | 101 |
Marek Belka | With the sugar market hysteria, the people are obviously worried and expect higher inflation. When this hysteria subsides, which we're probably observing, then I hope that people will also get less worried about the future of inflation. | 101 |
Richard DeVos | Few 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. Allen | When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God. | 101 |
Dan Wakefield | The 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.' And certainly, his mission is also to bring hope. It was to heal people, to befriend the outcast. | 101 |
Jeff Bingaman | I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate change is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions. | 101 |
Marion Zimmer Bradley | It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination. | 101 |
Martha McSally | If it were in our national security to deploy to South Africa under apartheid, would we have found it acceptable or customary to segregate African American soldiers from other American soldiers, and say, 'It's just a cultural thing'? I don't think so. I would hope not. | 101 |
Mary Landrieu | Democracy still has a real hope and chance in Iraq, and true freedom in this country would be the greatest testament to those who gave their lives for it. | 101 |
Ralph Stanley | I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it. | 101 |
Richard Li | If achieving the Hong Kong dream becomes a vanishing hope, then our society will suffer. What would the Hong Kong dream be? It's no different from the American dream, whereby an everyday man on the street who works hard would be able to make good savings and use those savings as equity for their future small business. | 101 |
Ron Pope | We 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 Cranston | I 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 Ambani | My 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 |
Joel Schumacher | I don't want to tell your story because you're a insensitive, self-centered moron. I've told a lot of stories about young people, and I always feel there's hope. | 101 |
Ralph Gibson | In 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. But there is nothing to this caliber in color. Well, I think I'll waltz with my muse and hope that I might be able to produce something on this order in color. | 101 |
Adrienne Barbeau | When I see myself on film it makes me smile, I mean making a good living doing what I enjoy is soo much fun. I just hope that everyone has the chance to enjoy life like I do. | 101 |
Alexander Henry | On what rests the hope of the republic? One country, one language, one flag! | 101 |
Jessica Tandy | When he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it's the street. | 101 |
Arthur Wing Pinero | Where there's tea there's hope. | 101 |
Mark O'Donnell | I love writing novels, even if only a few thousand people read them. Here's my soul; I hope it appeals to your soul. | 101 |
Mika Waltari | During 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 Sentamu | The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future. | 101 |
Jonathan Kellerman | These 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 Stafford | You 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 Hahn | I 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 Charlton | We 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 Cone | Testimony 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 Tutu | Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. | 102 |
John Lennon | Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. | 102 |
Napoleon Bonaparte | A leader is a dealer in hope. | 102 |
Rene Descartes | I 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 Messi | I 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 Atwood | I 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 Curie | You 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 Nobel | Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness. | 102 |
B. H. Liddell Hart | Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war. | 102 |
Charlotte Bronte | The 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. Uchtdorf | Satan 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 Bonhoeffer | The 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 Shula | I 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 Bono | Creativity 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 Jenner | I 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 Edwards | You 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 Canada | People 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 Carver | Where there is no vision, there is no hope. | 102 |
Henry Giroux | A 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 Nemerov | I 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 Mustafa | I 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 Jackson | At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division. | 102 |
Niels Bohr | How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. | 102 |
Nikki Reed | If 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 Adams | I'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 Deen | When 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 Priebus | Candidate 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 Warren | What 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 Murdoch | In 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 Hauerwas | Our 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 |
Stendhal | A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. | 102 |
Terry Richardson | Over 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 Wilder | Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous. | 102 |
Walter Benjamin | The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope. | 102 |
Will Durant | The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds. | 102 |
Xi Jinping | Friends 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 Schaef | Looking after my health today gives me a better hope for tomorrow. | 102 |
Brandi Carlile | I 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 Lipton | The planet's hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science. | 102 |
Chelsea Clinton | I 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 Brainerd | If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world. | 102 |
Debra Messing | You 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 Henley | Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back. | 102 |
Edward Tufte | The minimum we should hope for with any display technology is that it should do no harm. | 102 |
Faye Dunaway | I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do. | 102 |
Frank Frazetta | I 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 Forman | Oftentimes 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 Gealey | Everybody 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 Knowles | For 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'Brien | In 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 Pickler | I 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 Yadav | I 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 Barr | My 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 Richardson | Hope is the cordial that keeps life from stagnating. | 102 |
Sarah Paulson | To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible. | 102 |
Sharron Angle | You 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 Baldwin | Our 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 Heinz | To 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 Smith | If 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 Duff | It'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 Mohapatra | I hope to grow another head and two more hands, like an Indian goddess. | 102 |
Bob Riley | Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future. | 102 |
Cathy McMorris Rodgers | This 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 Hollen | America 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 Sinclair | I 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 Black | I 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 Coverdale | I 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 Balch | These 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 Roshan | The 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 Quinn | My 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 Nelson | You 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 Clark | I 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 Jian | I 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 Rogers | I 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 Spurlock | I don't know. I have incredible amounts of hope that things can change. It takes people who believe. | 102 |
Patrick Chan | I 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 Urich | Charge 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 Parsley | The secular world looks to the church and to its chagrin, finds no love, no life, no laughter, no hope and no happiness. | 102 |
Todd McFarlane | You'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 Johnson | Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness, which this world affords. | 102 |
Edgar Rice Burroughs | Death, only, renders hope futile. | 102 |
Edward Zwick | There 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 Hood | The 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 Prentice | It 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 Madden | I'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 Charteris | Others, 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 Landon | How disappointment tracks the steps of hope. | 102 |
Liu Xiaobo | I hope that I will be the last victim in China's long record of treating words as crimes. | 102 |
Paul Scofield | Sixty-four thousand dollars for a question, I hope they are asking you the meaning of life. | 102 |
Regis Philbin | I'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 Salgado | So 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 Helberg | I 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 Hidayat | I 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 Bulfinch | Thus 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 Michnik | For those of us imprisoned in Poland, the Prague Spring was a harbinger of hope. | 102 |
David Wells | I'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 Caperton | It 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 Doby | Kids 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 Xun | Hope 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 Smith | Well, I just hope we can have peace, and I hope it'll do some good. | 102 |
Susan Lucci | Life 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 Kapoor | There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future. | 102 |
Jakob Dylan | My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity. | 102 |
Ralph Stanley | I'm thankful that I have lived long enough to become a legend, and I hope I deserve it. | 102 |
Joyce Grenfell | They 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 Kerr | You 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 Jobrani | I 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 Condorcet | I hope to see the bringing together of all the best educated people of the earth into a worldwide Congress of Scientists. | 102 |
Juan Manuel Santos | I 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 Clinton | The 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 Vonnegut | There 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 Kazantzakis | I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. | 103 |
James Madison | The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world. | 103 |
Mattie Stepanek | Keep 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 Johnson | The 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 Dershowitz | In 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 Onassis | We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds. | 103 |
B. H. Liddell Hart | Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness. | 103 |
Bill Cosby | There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God. | 103 |
Chester W. Nimitz | God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless. | 103 |
Dan Brown | Well, 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 Hoffer | Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation. | 103 |
Faith Ringgold | I'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 Rabelais | I 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 Ifill | Hope springs eternal, even in politics. | 103 |
Henning Mankell | I 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 Henson | My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here. | 103 |
Ken Hill | Writing 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 Smith | I 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 Kardashian | Being 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 Luger | I'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 Romney | Our 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 Goldsmith | Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook. | 103 |
Oscar Pistorius | Putting 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 Cornwell | Survival was my only hope, success my only revenge. | 103 |
Rafael Cruz | I 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 Rohr | The 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 Ingersoll | Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. | 103 |
Robert H. Schuller | Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future. | 103 |
Salma Hayek | Beauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not? | 103 |
Terence | You believe that easily which you hope for earnestly. | 103 |
Tertullian | Hope is patience with the lamp lit. | 103 |
Thales | Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still. | 103 |
Thomas Frank | There 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 Davis | I 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 Jinping | The 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 Laurent | I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. | 103 |
Beverly Cleary | I didn't start out writing to give children hope, but I'm glad some of them found it. | 103 |
Carlton Cuse | I 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 Ridley | Hope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed. | 103 |
Daniel Burnham | Make 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 Boyle | It's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations. | 103 |
Dario Argento | The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love. | 103 |
Emanuel Cleaver | Hope 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 Fawcett | In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope, and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever. | 103 |
George Weinberg | Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. | 103 |
Gustav Heinemann | Insecurity and resignation mingle with the hope for a better order. | 103 |
J. B. Priestley | I 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 Cameron | Every 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 Herriot | I 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 McGonigal | Urgent 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 Yuna | Even 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 Evers | Our only hope is to control the vote. | 103 |
Meir Kahane | If 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 Anderson | I 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 Jefferies | I desire a greatness of soul, an irradiance of mind, a deeper insight, a broader hope. | 103 |
Shashi Tharoor | I 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 Jameson | Hope is a talent like any other. | 103 |
Theodore Bikel | I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation. | 103 |
Wendell Pierce | What 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 Allingham | If 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 Campbell | I 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 Underwood | The 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 Cushing | We are laying the foundations of a government, which we hope may outlast the Pyramids. | 103 |
Carmen Dell'Orefice | I 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 Engel | It 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 Holt | I hope the wonder of what happens to my characters never goes away. That yearning keeps me writing. | 103 |
Lesley Garrett | I 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 Silva | My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world. | 103 |
Michael Dickinson | Although 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 Pfeiffer | Like 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 Klein | Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn't filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear. | 103 |
Studs Terkel | I 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 Elbegdorj | It 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 Adornetto | Here 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 Esar | Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment. | 103 |
Gustave Courbet | I hope to live all my life for my art, without abandoning my principles one iota. | 103 |
Kurt Huber | I 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 Lopez | I'm proud of my background, so I hope there will be more roles where Hispanics are being portrayed. | 103 |
Samuel Ullman | In 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 Tisch | My 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 Meagher | It 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 Liguori | Just 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 Bon | Your 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. Mitchell | The 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 Baker | I'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 Evancho | My 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 Arpaio | I 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 Bridges | I live on hope and that I think do all Who come into this world. | 103 |
Justin Baldoni | One 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 Skaggs | My 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 Lincoln | My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth. | 104 |
Helen Keller | Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. | 104 |
Alfred Lord Tennyson | Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.' | 104 |
Angela Merkel | Overcoming 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 Leibovitz | My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds. | 104 |
Bob Uecker | I 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 Lovato | Where 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 Sheeran | Whenever 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 Perkins | To 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. Kellogg | Certain 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 Clooney | I 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 Bergman | I hope I never get so old I get religious. | 104 |
Ivan Illich | We must rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation. | 104 |
Jeff Kinney | On 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 Jagger | Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope. | 104 |
Nick Vujicic | I 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 Butler | Religion 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 Benchley | I 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 Elder | Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man. | 104 |
Taylor Momsen | I hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves. | 104 |
Tim Duncan | 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. | 104 |
Tom Bodett | They 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 Dorsett | You hope in this life that you grow and don't always repeat your mistakes. | 104 |
Vin Scully | I'm going to sit back, light up, and hope I don't chew the cigarette to pieces. | 104 |
William S. Burroughs | Desperation 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 Geist | My 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 Sweeney | One 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 Ahrendts | Intuition 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 Banneker | Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners. | 104 |
Bill Owens | Families 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-Jones | I'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 Ives | But 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 McCann | Part 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 Mazar | On 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 Tufte | I 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 Cleaver | Hope fills the holes of my frustration in my heart. | 104 |
Emil Zatopek | An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head. | 104 |
Geezer Butler | I 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. Watts | I 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 Hus | I 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 Corbyn | We are not doing celebrity, personality, abusive politics - we are doing ideas. This is about hope. | 104 |
Karl A. Menninger | Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse. | 104 |
Kirsten Gillibrand | When we create hope and opportunity in the lives of others, we allow love, decency and promise to triumph over cowardice and hate. | 104 |
Lilly Pulitzer | Seeing 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 Graham | President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch. | 104 |
Patricia Highsmith | I 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 Penrose | My 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 Seacrest | I hope I can help guys come out and say, 'All right, dude, I got a manicure... and I liked it.' | 104 |
Angela Kinsey | I 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 Gahan | To 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 Waller | To love is to believe, to hope, to know; Tis an essay, a taste of Heaven below! | 104 |
Jonas Salk | There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality. | 104 |
Melissa Etheridge | There 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 Yancey | Sci-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 Johnson | Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable. | 104 |
Carl Levin | We have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices. | 104 |
Jeffrey Archer | Well I certainly have learned and I hope I'm moving on and certainly two years of prison was a terrible punishment. | 104 |
Lauren Potter | I hope that when people with Down's see me, they will be inspired to do more than they think they can. | 104 |
Marvin Gaye | I 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 Friend | I 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 Ullman | You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. | 104 |
Ashley Monroe | Once 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 Anouilh | Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it. | 104 |
Jef I. Richards | Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money. | 104 |
Michael Novak | We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord. | 104 |
Richard Cecil | God'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 Ramone | I 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 Dostoevsky | To live without Hope is to Cease to live. | 105 |
Benazir Bhutto | It'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 Harper | D.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 Aquino | Faith 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 Gehry | When 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 Boas | I 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 Johnson | I 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 Hancock | We 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 Haniyeh | I 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 Armstrong | If 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. T | My 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 Cousins | The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started. | 105 |
Norman Foster | I 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 Moore | I'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 Coleridge | He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope. | 105 |
Shania Twain | I 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 James | I 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 Paradis | I 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. Clinton | A lot of presidential memoirs, they say, are dull and self-serving. I hope mine is interesting and self-serving. | 105 |
William McKinley | That'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 Dinkins | Well, 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 Warwick | We 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 Estevez | There 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'Connor | I 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 Bernanos | Hope is a risk that must be run. | 105 |
Jack Dorsey | What'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 Diaz | You 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 Pirandello | Logic 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 Culkin | I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not. | 105 |
Michel Onfray | By 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 Goodell | The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, 'I made my parents proud.' | 105 |
Steven Curtis Chapman | I 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 Shadyac | I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world. | 105 |
Tony Kushner | You 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 Hamilton | We 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 Gregoire | Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope. | 105 |
Edward Witten | If 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 Savile | Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is good company along the way. | 105 |
George Steinbrenner | As 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 Ian | At 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 Barlow | But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having. | 105 |
William Samuel Johnson | Whatever enlarges hope will also exalt courage. | 105 |
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf | The 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 Hartnett | Hope 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 Cojocaru | The 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 Howard | I'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 Einstein | Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. | 106 |
Baruch Spinoza | Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. | 106 |
Desmond Tutu | Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value. | 106 |

Martin Luther | Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. | 106 |
Pope Francis | We 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 Dangerfield | At 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. Eliot | I 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 Zacharias | The 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 Karr | I 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 Porchia | Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow. | 106 |
Ashton Kutcher | Vulnerability 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 Affleck | I'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 Tyler | I'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 Rossetti | She 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 Erasmus | If 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 Edwards | But 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-Heron | Your life has to consist of more than 'Black people should unite.' You hope they do, but not twenty-four hours a day. | 106 |
Ivo Andric | Between 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 Wesley | When 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 Stewart | You 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 Montgomery | In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends. | 106 |
Magic Johnson | All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them. | 106 |
Natalie Cole | When 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 Wallenda | I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies. | 106 |
Norman Cousins | The 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 II | I 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 Brosnan | I 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 Furler | I hope I am a psychotherapist's dream. I've spent enough hours in therapy. | 106 |
Stanley Hauerwas | At 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 Nicks | Right now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again. | 106 |
Thomas Hardy | The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes. | 106 |
Valentino Garavani | I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?' | 106 |
Wallace Shawn | We'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 |
Christo | We 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 Audubon | But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns. | 106 |
Rick Perlstein | My 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 Robertson | A 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 Sosa | Don'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 Wow | When 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 Vorderman | Next 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-Gurion | Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist. | 106 |
John Green | I'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 Terkel | With 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 Giovanni | Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. | 106 |
Sheldon Whitehouse | How 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 Myrdal | We 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 Bradshaw | The 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 Gay | The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits. | 106 |
Maya Angelou | Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. | 107 |

Jack Kerouac | I 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 Adams | Posterity! 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 Lamott | When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens. | 107 |
Bill Walton | The 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 Roitfeld | Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby. | 107 |
Christina Rossetti | Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth. | 107 |
Christopher Walken | There 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 Cook | We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments. | 107 |
David Blaine | I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder. | 107 |

Donnie Yen | I certainly hope 'Dragon' can leave some legacy behind. | 107 |
Francoise Sagan | I always believe things are going to work out. | 107 |
Jim Henson | When 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 Updike | Professionalism 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 Unamuno | If 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 Vujicic | Hope 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 Tillich | I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment. | 107 |
Ruth Bader Ginsburg | So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow. | 107 |
Stanley Kubrick | The 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 Mbeki | The 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 Monteith | I 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 Ramstad | Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people. | 107 |
Maeve Binchy | My 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 Bamford | I never really thought of myself as depressed so much as paralyzed by hope. | 107 |
Mariella Frostrup | Only 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 Moretz | I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can. | 107 |
David D. Burns | Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer, because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem. | 107 |
Jonathan Winters | I 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 Jian | My 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 Abbas | We 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 Sabol | You 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 Hoppus | All 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 Walpole | And 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 Brandis | However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face! | 107 |
Dalai Lama | When 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 Disney | I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse. | 108 |
Bertrand Russell | Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery. | 108 |
Thich Nhat Hanh | Hope 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 Hubbard | A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. | 108 |
Hilaire Belloc | When I am dead, I hope it may be said: His sins were scarlet, but his books were read. | 108 |
Jacques Yves Cousteau | If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work. | 108 |
Martha Beck | Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone. | 108 |
Muhammad Ali Jinnah | Pakistan 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 Solnit | Revolution 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 Giuliani | When 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 Goldberg | When 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 Cowper | Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. | 108 |
Yayoi Kusama | I hope royalty continues forever. This is the thing that can contribute to peace throughout the world. | 108 |
David Rakoff | I'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 Innis | When 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 Lautner | I 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 Garr | You can be diagnosed and treated early. And there is hope for the future. | 108 |
Willem de Kooning | The 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 Eddington | If 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 Ciardi | A 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 Jackson | Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope. | 108 |
Marvin Sapp | Some 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 Meyer | It'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 Lincoln | All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. | 109 |
Barack Obama | In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? | 109 |
Elie Wiesel | Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another. | 109 |
Erma Bombeck | When 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 Sugar | There 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 Siegel | If 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 Theron | I 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 D | I 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 Debussy | The 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 Ikeda | There 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 Schubert | Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief. | 109 |
Harlan Coben | Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell. | 109 |
Ivan Illich | At the moment of death I hope to be surprised. | 109 |
Jesse Jackson | Today'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 Winslet | Acting, 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 Dawson | My 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 Jinnah | My 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 Reagan | Now 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 Peart | I'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 Foster | I 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 Card | I hope I am remembered by my children as a good father. | 109 |
Peter Jackson | If justice is supposed to be fair, than any justice system you would hope is based on fairness. | 109 |
Queen Rania of Jordan | When 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 Breathnach | Expect 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 Duncan | I'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 Chapman | I 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 Tan | I 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 Barton | Action 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 McKellar | I 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 Koontz | Like 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 Caen | I 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 Hus | I, 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 Balotelli | Even 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 Franti | I hope I inspire people to dream bigger than what they are living, but a dream within their reach. | 109 |
Michael Morpurgo | Wherever 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 Hamilton | Many 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 Bibesco | We often call a certainty a hope, to bring it luck. | 109 |
John Ciardi | Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal, with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope. | 109 |
Jordin Sparks | I 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 Carnegie | Most 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. Bush | I'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 Iverson | Man, 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 Frank | I 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 Reeve | Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out. | 110 |
Daisaku Ikeda | When 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 Gibbon | Hope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition. | 110 |
Erik Erikson | There 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 Graffin | I 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 Addison | Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. | 110 |
N. R. Narayana Murthy | When 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 Khayyam | The 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 III | I 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 Postrel | Cosmetics 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 Laurent | I 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 Shields | The 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 Gregory | Once 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 Haddon | I 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 Edwards | Compromise 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 Ferguson | Chemistry 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 Hatfield | For 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 Terkel | I hope for peace and sanity - it's the same thing. | 110 |
Jessica Valenti | I 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 Bennett | Journalists 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 Havel | Hope 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 Martin | I 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 Palahniuk | If 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 Feinstein | It 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 Durrenmatt | The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint. | 111 |
Hunter Hayes | I 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 White | When 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 Conrad | Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life. | 111 |
Martha Beck | Whether 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 Hamm | I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you. | 111 |
Noel Coward | Let'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 Smith | Bringing 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 Carlyle | He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. | 111 |
Mahmoud Darwish | Without hope we are lost. | 111 |
Juliana Hatfield | I 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 Button | We 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 Degenerez | Hope and wishes for all that delights will sour in the midst of action not taken and words unsaid. | 111 |
Anne Frank | I 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. Roosevelt | We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon. | 112 |
Gore Vidal | Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent. | 112 |
Al Gore | I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature. | 112 |
B. C. Forbes | He 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 Knight | When 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 Roitfeld | I'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 Dennis | America 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 Slick | You 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. Faust | All 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 Buckley | I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered. | 112 |
John Mayer | I 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 Oliver | I 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 Rizal | I 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 Kardashian | I'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 Seligman | The fundamentalist religions simply seem to offer more hope for a brighter future than do the more liberal, humanistic ones. | 112 |
Nicole Kidman | I 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 Davis | And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else. | 112 |
Prince William | I hope I'm not a tourist attraction - I'm sure that they come here really because St. Andrews is just amazing, a beautiful place. | 112 |
Thomas Fuller | If it were not for hopes, the heart would break. | 112 |
Zinedine Zidane | I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with. | 112 |
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have. | 113 |
Vaclav Havel | Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. | 113 |
John Wayne | Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday. | 113 |
Mattie Stepanek | God 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 Lamott | Most 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. Glasow | Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope. | 113 |
Aziz Ansari | Writing 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 Kingsolver | Few 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 Flay | My 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. White | The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love. | 113 |
Gustave Flaubert | Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings. | 113 |
Marlee Matlin | I hope I inspire people who hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams. | 113 |
Orison Swett Marden | There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow. | 113 |
Rose Kennedy | What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter? | 113 |
Saint Basil | To lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him. | 113 |
Stephen Jay Gould | Few 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. Clinton | I still believe in a place called Hope. | 113 |
William Jennings Bryan | I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together. | 113 |
Epictetus | Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant. | 114 |
Queen Elizabeth II | I 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 |
Aaliyah | All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from. | 114 |
Brian Eno | Democracy 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 Lasch | The 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 Brooks | Whatever I do, I hope it's quality, I hope it's something that's class. | 114 |
Gertrude Stein | It 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 Farrakhan | I 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 Khan | Sometimes I feel I hope I am not taking advantage of my stardom. | 114 |
Seamus Heaney | Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained. | 114 |
Spike Lee | Right 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 DeLonge | I 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 Hazlitt | The 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 Boehner | We 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 Dryden | When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit. | 114 |
James Larkin | We are now on the threshold of a newer movement, with a newer hope and a new inspiration. | 114 |
Vaclav Havel | Isn'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 Adams | When 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 Zacharias | Outside 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. Feynman | It 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 Joseph | I 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. Faust | The 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 Bacall | I 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 Farrakhan | 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. | 115 |
Miranda Hart | I'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 Vujicic | Hope 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 Sotomayor | My 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 Swayze | If 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 Vaughan | We hope that, when the insects take over the world, they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics. | 115 |
Aristotle | Hope is a waking dream. | 116 |
Muhammad Ali | Ali'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. Ford | I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone. | 116 |
Louis Farrakhan | And 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 |
Madeleine Albright | I am a beneficiary of the American people's generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here. | 116 |
Pope Benedict XVI | Today 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 Khan | I 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 Berger | The 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 Weir | I'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 Churchill | All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. | 117 |
David Hume | A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty. | 117 |
Vaclav Havel | Hope 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 Osteen | There 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. Schulz | Yesterday 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 Pine | A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope. | 117 |
George Lucas | The 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 Melville | Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity. | 117 |
Joni Mitchell | My 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 Garland | I'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 McLaughlin | Hope is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent. | 117 |

Stendhal | In 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 Berry | The 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 Thackeray | It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit. | 117 |
Alan Moore | No 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 Carre | Most 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 Hellman | Things start out as hopes and end up as habits. | 117 |
Patrick Swayze | Together we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse. | 117 |
Jesse Tyler Ferguson | As 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 Angelou | My 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 Burke | People 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. Lee | I 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 |
Michelangelo | Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him. | 118 |
Arthur Ashe | I 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 Stanley | Hope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting. | 118 |
Douglas Horton | We are all serving a life sentence, and good behavior is our only hope for a pardon. | 118 |
Emile M. Cioran | We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves. | 118 |
Joseph Addison | If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius. | 118 |
Keanu Reeves | I'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 Armstrong | Running 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 Yorke | Well, 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 Tebow | My 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 Guin | It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope. | 118 |
Ranbir Kapoor | Personally, 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 Aquinas | Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand. | 119 |
Thomas Merton | Solitude 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 Alighieri | All hope abandon, ye who enter here! | 119 |
Scarlett Johansson | I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn't have any cellulite then. | 119 |
Bill Nye | I 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 Bale | My 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 Palahniuk | Of 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. Faust | Hope 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 Lucado | One 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 Kumar | On 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 Tan | You 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 Moreau | Life 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 |

Niccolo Machiavelli | War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms. | 120 |
Vaclav Havel | Hope 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 Coolidge | Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good. | 120 |
Bryant H. McGill | While 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 Forbes | When 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 Heaney | I 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 Moore | There'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 Bacon | Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. | 121 |
Pope John Paul II | I hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing. | 121 |
Iyanla Vanzant | I hope that my story, I hope that my life is... an encouragement for people, especially in Brooklyn. I feel humbled and blessed. | 121 |
Jane Goodall | I 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 Lebowitz | You 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 Ciccone | I 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 Cousins | Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic. | 121 |
Epictetus | We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope. | 122 |
Marcus Garvey | Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people. | 122 |
Andrea Bocelli | I'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. Schulz | A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope. | 122 |
Daisaku Ikeda | A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader. | 122 |
Jacques Yves Cousteau | The 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 Fallon | When 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 Sotomayor | So 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 Reznor | My music, I hope, takes 100% of your concentration. I know how to do that. | 122 |
Rita Mae Brown | Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work. | 122 |
Dalai Lama | I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. | 123 |
Nelson Mandela | Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future. | 123 |
F. Scott Fitzgerald | I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't. | 123 |
Katrina Kaif | You 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 Matlin | I 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 Pilkington | When 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. Nixon | In 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 Meyer | Over 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 Ziglar | You 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 Neeson | I 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 Romney | Together 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 Brett | I 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 Wozniak | In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer. | 124 |
Maria Sharapova | A 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 Jordan | I 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 Kalam | Over 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 Rushkoff | Occupy 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 Cain | It'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 |
Peter Singer | The hope of Internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the Internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information, or restrict Internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century, as North Korea has done. | 125 |
John Ortberg | The 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 Jefferson | I 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 Ruskin | Man'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 Greene | Very 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 Jeter | God, I hope I wear this jersey forever. | 126 |
John Henrik Clarke | Anytime 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 |
Ovid | My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope. | 126 |
Salman Khan | I 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 Graham | God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world. | 201 |
George Eliot | There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope. | 201 |
Alan Dershowitz | I've had such a satisfying life professionally and personally. I hope my tombstone says, 'Never boring.' | 201 |
Billy Corgan | Like 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 Way | There 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 Reeves | You 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 Browning | Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character. | 201 |
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings. | 202 |
Leonardo DiCaprio | I 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 Smith | Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man. | 202 |
Paul Walker | I 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 Rand | When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is. | 203 |
Noam Chomsky | The 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 Johnson | What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence. | 203 |
Walt Disney | I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained. | 204 |
Dolly Parton | The 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 Poe | The 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 Eliot | But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope. | 204 |
John Lennon | And 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 Martin | My 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 Wordsworth | Not without hope we suffer and we mourn. | 204 |
Harvey Mackay | Don'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 Carrey | One 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 Cooley | Every day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed. | 204 |
Penn Jillette | A 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. Sharma | Cynicism 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 Mainwaring | Any 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 Bonaparte | Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment. | 205 |
J. Cole | I'm here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been told you're supposed to do. | 205 |
Epictetus | Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope. | 206 |
James E. Faust | When 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 Rubio | Conservatism 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 Lama | I 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 Schwarzenegger | I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will. | 207 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route. | 207 |
Marilyn Manson | You 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 Ziglar | People 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 |
E. O. Wilson | I had in mind a message, although I hope it doesn't intrude too badly, persuading Americans, and especially Southerners, of the critical importance of land and our vanishing natural environment and wildlife. | 207 |
Thomas S. Monson | I 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 Sinek | The 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 |
Adele | I 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 |
Alexander Pope | Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest. | 208 |
Oscar Wilde | This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. | 209 |
David Attenborough | I 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 Limbaugh | The 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 Jung | Man 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 |
Les Brown | I think of myself as a catalyst of action and a messenger of hope, turning people onto themselves and turning people onto their dreams. | 210 |
Marco Rubio | Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer. | 210 |
Frank Lloyd Wright | The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope. | 211 |
Louis C. K. | I wish I could know everything ever, like that would be my wish - that's what I hope heaven is, that they tell you who shot JFK and all that stuff. | 211 |
Thich Nhat Hanh | You practice mindfulness, on the one hand, to be calm and peaceful. On the other hand, as you practice mindfulness and live a life of peace, you inspire hope for a future of peace. | 211 |
Vladimir Putin | Stalinism 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 Mayer | I'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 Ingersoll | In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. | 211 |
Yoko Ono | My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music. | 211 |
Noam Chomsky | Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections. | 212 |
Robert Frost | I always entertain great hopes. | 212 |
Lady Gaga | I love my daddy. My daddy's everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad. | 212 |
Stephen King | You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you. | 212 |
Anne Lamott | The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless. | 212 |
Michael Moore | I made 'Bowling for Columbine' in the hope the school shootings would stop and that we would address the issue of how easy it is to get a gun in the United States, and tragically, those school shootings continue. | 212 |
Nelson Mandela | I 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 Osteen | I 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 Suzuki | It 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. My grandchildren are my stake in the near future, and it's my great hope that they might one day say, 'Grandpa was part of a great movement that helped to turn things around.' | 213 |
Henri Frederic Amiel | Uncertainty is the refuge of hope. | 214 |
George Washington | I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. | 215 |
William Shakespeare | Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness. | 215 |
James A. Baldwin | Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they're better than other human beings. | 215 |
Alanis Morissette | I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope. | 215 |
Mark Twain | Lord save us all from old age and broken health and a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms. | 216 |
Henry Ford | If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. | 216 |
Hillary Clinton | It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy. | 216 |
Pope Francis | I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration. | 216 |
Marianne Williamson | Hope lies in having more faith in the power of God to heal us than in the power of anything to hurt or destroy us. In realizing that as children of God we are bigger than our problems, we have the power at last to confront them. | 216 |
Robert H. Schuller | It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. | 216 |
Jane Austen | Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure. | 218 |
Bill Cosby | Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die. | 218 |
David Attenborough | All we can hope for is that the thing is going to slowly and imperceptibly shift. All I can say is that 50 years ago there were no such thing as environmental policies. | 219 |
Hunter S. Thompson | Victory is a fleeting thing in the gambling business. Today's winners are tomorrow's blinking toads, dumb beasts with no hope. | 219 |
Lucius Annaeus Seneca | The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it. | 220 |
Bryant H. McGill | Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for. | 220 |
James E. Faust | Hope is trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future. | 220 |
T. S. Eliot | For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. | 221 |
Alan Rickman | I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing. | 221 |
Elie Wiesel | Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings. | 222 |
W. C. Fields | When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty. | 222 |
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Hope is the magic carpet that transports us from the present moment into the realm of infinite possibilities. | 223 |

Lou Holtz | My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for. | 223 |

Emily Dickinson | I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven. | 224 |
George Santayana | Many possessions, if they do not make a man better, are at least expected to make his children happier; and this pathetic hope is behind many exertions. | 225 |
Dalai Lama | My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding. | 226 |
John F. Kennedy | I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant. | 226 |
Bertrand Russell | Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change. | 226 |
Dwight D. Eisenhower | Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well. | 301 |
Warren Buffett | The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on. | 302 |
Robert Green Ingersoll | Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity. | 302 |
James E. Faust | I testify that inspiration can be the spring for every person's hope, guidance, and strength. It is one of the magnified treasures of life. It involves coming to the infinite knowledge of God. | 303 |
Joseph B. Wirthlin | Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope. | 303 |
Victor Hugo | Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man. | 304 |
Gilbert K. Chesterton | To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. | 307 |

Martin Luther King, Jr. | The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. | 309 |
Dolly Parton | I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children. | 309 |
Ernest Hemingway | I'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. Faust | Our 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 |
Barack Obama | On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future. | 312 |
Ezra Taft Benson | We must not lose hope. Hope is an anchor to the souls of men. Satan would have us cast away that anchor. | 312 |
Aristotle | Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope. | 313 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | In most of mankind gratitude is merely a secret hope of further favors. | 313 |
Nelson Mandela | Sabotage did not involve loss of life, and it offered the best hope for future race relations. Bitterness would be kept to a minimum and, if the policy bore fruit, democratic government could become a reality. | 320 |
Steve Jobs | I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back. | 320 |
Dwight D. Eisenhower | If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order. | 323 |

Marcus Tullius Cicero | While there's life, there's hope. | 326 |
Billy Graham | 'Hope and change' has become a cliche in our nation, and it is daunting to think that any American could hope for change from what God has blessed. | 401 |
Oscar Wilde | It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes. | 403 |
Stephen Hawking | I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people. | 404 |
Thomas Jefferson | One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. | 405 |
John F. Kennedy | Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. | 407 |
Abraham Lincoln | I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause. | 408 |
Bill Gates | If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was 'satisfactory,' I would have no hope of ever getting better. How would I know who was the best? How would I know what I was doing differently? | 411 |
Joel Osteen | When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe. | 411 |
Joel Osteen | I do know this... I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ. | 414 |
