They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.

There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

'Peace Train' is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

We must rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation.
