I want you to take away the hope because that’s the thing that’s killing me.
358
359
It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.
360
361
362
At the moment of death I hope to be surprised.
363
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
364
I hope that others can turn their negative thoughts into positive thoughts and improve their own lives.
365
366
My strongest hope is for a cameo as a band playing in a club visited by the detectives on ‘Law & Order: SVU’ during the course of an investigation, maybe during sound check, or something, so they can force us to stop playing while they question the sound guy.
367
The United States is the world’s best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence.
368
369
370
371
372
Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.
373
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you’re putting out there, if it’s received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it’s not received, great, I respect you for not.
374
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.
375
376
The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.
377
378
I hope people remember me as a good and decent man. And if they do, then that’s success.
379
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
380
381
I always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture – you always can hope for another project to design.
382
383
384
385
386
History says, ‘Don’t hope on this side of the grave.’
387
I smoked for almost 10 years. I really regret that. Thankfully, I came out on the other side. I hope my lungs are repairing themselves now.
388
I don’t have any faith in the Republican Party. I don’t have any faith in the Democrat Party. The only hope for this nation is God.
389
I think it’s impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.
390
391
The Middle East is hopeful. There’s hope there.
392
393
I hope that basketball gains momentum and kids understand that you can actually make a living from it. Not just the N.B.A. You can get a scholarship, a free degree – like, no student loan you have to pay off. That’s huge in life. Once they realize that in New Zealand, I hope they get inspired.
394
I would like to leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I would hope that by the time I die I could have learned from the years of living and hand something down.
395
396
397
I don’t believe in hope. I believe in action, if I’m an apostle of anything: There are always going to be complications, but to a large degree, everything is in your hands.
398
399
A new building should deliver a feeling of hope.
400
401
402
Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they’re better than other human beings.
403
404
I’ve flown across America, I’ve scaled fences, I’ve stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I’m a hopeless romantic. There’s no hope for me.
405
Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.
406
Art work is inconclusive. It opens your mind up. At least, that’s what I hope it does. And advertising, using exactly the same photograph, closes things down. It makes it conclusive. It sells a product, and that is its primary function.
407
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
408
People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things – to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
409
410
Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
411
412
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
413
I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it’s all said and done, it’s all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that’s one of hope.
414
And if there’s any hope for America, it lies in a revolution, and if there’s any hope for a revolution in America, it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.
415
I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.
416
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
417
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
418
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
419
There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding, which constitutes a new hope and a new responsibility for all.
420
421
Hope will be found by understanding that diversity is the essence of the American Dream and why we need each other to fulfill it.
422
Being a star has made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to go and get insulted.
423
424
425
Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.
426
Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.
427
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
428
429
Where I am today… I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.
430
At the end of the day, that’s all I hope for, is that I can sleep well at night knowing that I did everything that I could.
431
432
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.
433
434
I hope to be remembered as a very good jockey.
435
Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.
436
Fear and hope are alike underneath.
437
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
438
For he who has health has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
439
If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it; let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory.
440
The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.
441
I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I’m growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things – being tenacious about it.
442
443
444
What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.
445
Can I just tell you, I think it’s the most beautiful thing about young people today, it gives me so much hope for the future, that they don’t really recognize race the way my generation does.
446
No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.
447
Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.
448
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, ‘This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.’
449
Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
450
451
If I’m the people’s poet, then I ought to be in people’s hands – and, I hope, in their heart.
452
God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.
453
The world helps you to keep evolving and hope it’s for better. You have to rise above all the tragedies in life. You have to grow, and if you stop growing, you are old.
454
Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity.
455
The hope that poverty and ignorance may gradually be extinguished, derives indeed much support from the steady progress of the working classes during the nineteenth century.
456
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
457
I hope royalty continues forever. This is the thing that can contribute to peace throughout the world.
458
459
Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.
460
Change is definitely every day. It’s an ever-changing world. Everything changes, so I really don’t know. I just hope I become a better person, a better man.
461
It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
462
I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.
463
464
I remember when we were in Egypt as refugees. It was tough, but there was always hope – hope that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
465
Ministers should be Bible students. They should thoroughly furnish themselves with the evidences of our faith and hope, and then, with full control of the voice and their feelings, present these evidences in such a manner that the people can calmly weigh them, and decide upon the evidences presented.
466
When you run a part of the relay and pass on the baton, there is no sense of unfinished business in your mind. There is just the sense of having done your part to the best of your ability. That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon.
467
468
I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it’s all said and done, it’s all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that’s one of hope.
469
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
470
471
472
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.
473
474
I think I am a tough grader, because I feel like it’s my job to teach them to write well. I hope my students say I’m a fair teacher.
475
I hope, by God’s grace, that I am truly a Christian, not deviating from the faith, and that I would rather suffer the penalty of a terrible death than wish to affirm anything outside of the faith or transgress the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.
476
I’ve never liked to judge other people in the hope that they won’t judge me.
477
478
Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.
479
There will always be a place for us somewhere, somehow, as long as we see to it that working people fight for everything they have, everything they hope to get, for dignity, equality, democracy, to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life.
480
481
Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide.
482
483
As citizens, we have to co-create good governance, we cannot outsource it and hope to be passively happy consumers. Like everything worth its while, good governance must be earned.
484
485
486
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.
487
Hope will never be silent.
488
Amid apocalyptic dystopia, ‘Fahrenheit 451”s protagonist retains sparks of curiosity, creativity, and courage, and these human characteristics are the seeds of hope that can arise, phoenix-like, from civilization‘s ashes.
489
Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness.
490
For a long time, I have hoped for better days, but alas, today it is necessary for me to lose all hope. My poor wife suffers more and more. I do not think it is possible to be any weaker.
491
492
493
494
495
I only hope that He will let me preach to those who have never heard that name Jesus. What else is worthwhile in this life? I have heard of nothing better. ‘Lord, send me!’
496
Science is exploration. The fundamental nature of exploration is that we don’t know what’s there. We can guess and hope and aim to find out certain things, but we have to expect surprises.
497
498
I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.
499
I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana‘s loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.
500
501
I hope that memory is valued – that we do not lose memory.
502
As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking – or lack of thinking.
503
504
505
Sure, I love people, and I want to communicate with people. I mean, what is music anyway? It’s a form of communication – at least for me it is. And that’s why I play the kind of music that I think – that I hope – can communicate with people.
506
I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find that inspiring. I hope that is the effect I have on my fans and people in general. I definitely want to project a positive energy out into the world.
507
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
508
Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.
509
510
In motivating people, you’ve got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example – and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
511
It’s time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain’t working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.
512
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
513
If you are ever on stage, and it feels as though the audience is not laughing at the right points or are not quite as engaged as you’d hope, you have to remember there is always somebody who might be falling in love with this world and having an epiphany. I was that person.
514
515
516
I hope to stop discrimination against young transgender people.
517
518
519
520
Truly, this is a nation that sees itself as one that instills hope and is really about allowing people to pursue their dreams.
521
522
I don’t want to hope anymore. I don’t think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.
523
524
As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.
525
526
527
528
Hope! of all ills that men endure, the only cheap and universal cure.
529
530
Where there is no vision, there is no hope.
531
532
The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.
533
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
534
535
536
With so much conflict in the world, space exploration can be a beacon of hope.
537
538
539
I put ‘hope’ in my name to be a hopeful existence in the group.
540
541
542
Things start out as hopes and end up as habits.
543
I don’t know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.
544
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there’s some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You’re making it too complicated.
545
I’d love to be a dad. I hope I’d be great at it. That’s every man‘s fear, yet his most important job.
546
547
548
I just hope I can give positive energy to the squad.
549
I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
550
551
Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all.
552
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
553
We hope that, when the insects take over the world, they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics.
554
555
If your theory is found to be against the second law of theromodynamics, I give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.
556
I think that’s the one thing we all hope for in this life is we leave something of a legacy, that’s meaningful to someone else, when we leave here.
557
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
558
The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.
559
While there’s life, there’s hope.
560
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
561
562
563
I had to stop going to auditions thinking, ‘Oh, I hope they like me.’ I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.
564
565
566
567
568
I can only speak for myself, and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And, hopefully, they’ll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day, I just want my work to speak for itself.
569
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
570
571
572
Hope is the raw material of losers.
573
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
574
Hope is a very unruly emotion.
575
I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago – my job was secure. I didn’t have to promote myself. These days there’s far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won’t be lost.
576
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
577
I hope to continue to inspire our nation’s youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math so they, too, may reach for the stars.
578
I do hope to make a moon flight sometime.
579
I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me.
580
Hope never abandons you, you abandon it.
581
582
583
584
585
My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.
586
The big thing for me is just continuing to be a beacon of hope. And showing people that nothing is impossible.
587
588
When I see myself on film it makes me smile, I mean making a good living doing what I enjoy is soo much fun. I just hope that everyone has the chance to enjoy life like I do.
589
590
591
So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
592
I was surprised how supportive my family and friends were in my coming out, and it gave and still gives me hope.
593
594
My mother-in-law said, ‘One day I will dance on your grave.’ I said ‘I hope you do; I will be buried at sea.’
595
Hope… is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.
596
Well, he’s not going to get any nicer. He’s a genocidal racist maniac. He’s one of these people who thinks the world was a great place when Voldemort ruled the world. He’s particularly offended by mixed-blood Mudbloods, the product of wizards and humans. So I hope he goes into therapy.
597
598
599
600
I’m a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won’t.
601
I always believe things are going to work out.
602
603
604
605
606
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
607
I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven’t a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I’ve had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.
608
I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them!
609
Those of us born into vitalist and expressionist cultures must hope that governments will draw back from shutting down the modernist project of exploring, experimenting, and imagining – of voyaging into the unknown – that has been essential for rewarding lives.
610
611
Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.
612
The British people know that, given strong leadership, time, and a little bit of hope, the forces of good ultimately rally and triumph over evil.
613
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
614
We have no hope of solving our problems without harnessing the diversity, the energy, and the creativity of all our people.
615
616
But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
617
Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it‘ when things are tough.
618
In terms of being able to renew my nation, to be able to be able to bring back a devastated country, to restore hope to our people, to lift women and to give them a new horizon, a new ambition and new dreams, in respect of all of that, I think we’ve accomplished it, and I feel very good about that.
619
620
Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.
621
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country’s cause.
622
The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient’s hopes are the physician’s secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription.
623
When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.
624
625
Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance.
626
627
Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‘Is there any hope for the future?’ My answer is the same, ‘Yes, through Jesus Christ.’
628
629
I just hope that when black people look at me, they don’t see someone superhuman. They see themselves.
630
631
632
What is a superhero? They’re supposed to represent hope, opportunity, and strength for everybody.
633
I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think – It’s Brooke Shields.
634
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.
635
636
My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair.
637
You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
638
639
My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.
640
641
Humor is the most precious gift I can give to my reader, a reminder that the world is not such a terribly serious place. There is more than video games and drugs and nuclear threats; there is laughter, and there is hope.
642
643
Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.
644
645
You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
646
I hope for peace and sanity – it’s the same thing.
647
The hope, the hope that lives in the breast of the black American, is just so tremendous that it overwhelms me sometimes.
648
Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Never lose that sense of hope.
649
I’m always imposing my taste in books on others. I hope that people enjoy being surprised by a book they might not otherwise read – I enjoy the surprise myself when others do this to me.
650
651
If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.
652
653
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
654
Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
