To me, we're marketing hope.

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.

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.

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.

Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.
