I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
