Hope is more the consequence of action than its cause. As the experience of the spectator favors fatalism, so the experience of the agent produces hope.

The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.

I try to be rational and suppress the hope that this is for real, but hope has a way of closing its eyes to reason and it just keeps growing. 

Any fool can hope when success lies plainly in view. It wants genuine strength to hope when matters are hopeless.

I had learned that every patient has the right to hope, despite long odds, and it was my role to help nurture that hope.

The message of Christmas is a message of hope when all other such messages created by men can do nothing more than be hopeful.

“The festival — we try to make it a family event. We hope the weather is great, and we hope to see everyone come out.”

“I don't make resolutions. I have hopes. My hope for the New Year is that Original Town will continue to make progress.”

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.

“Any fool can hope when success lies plainly in view. It wants genuine strength to hope when matters are hopeless.”
