Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Great hopes make great men.
Hope – Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.
Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.
If the heart is clean, all hopes are fulfilled.
If you put your hope in psychology, you are bound for a life of pain. Put it in creativity... hanging out with your creator.
In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon.
It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dreams of yesterday
are the hopes of today, and the realities of tomorrow.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.
Not so long ago people believed in ideologies, systems, and institutions to save all societies. Today, they have given up such hopes and have returned to relying on the individual, on individual freedom,individual initiative, individual creativity.
There is no reason to give up hope, because we have this marvelous intelligence. Because of this intelligence we also have a certain positive potential.
