Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.

There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.

Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope, how much further wilt thou lead me?

I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.
