"An occasional lucky guess as to what makes a wife tick is the best a man can hope for, Even then, no sooner has he learned how to cope with the tick than she tocks."
Ogden Nash
"Art strives for form, and hopes for beauty."
Rose Elizabeth Bird
"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."
Ursula K. LeGuin
"As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives."
Albert Einstein
"At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope that it can be done, then they see that it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago."
Francis Eliza Hodgson Burnett
"At the moment of death I hope to be surprised."
Ivan Illich
"Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant."
Epictetus
"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be."
Thomas à Kempis
"Beware how you take away hope from any human being."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
"Boys are found everywhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."
Alan Marshall Beck
"But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having."
John Perry Barlow
"Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind."
Wilfred Wilson Gibson
"Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind."
Häfiz
"Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another -- too often ending in the loss of both."
Tryon Edwards
"Courage changes things for the better...[With courage you can] stay with something long enough to succeed at it, realizing that it usually takes two, three or four times as long to succeed as you thought or hoped."
Earl Nightingale
"Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment."
Napoleon I
"Dear brightest star o'er Bethlehem, O let your precious light shine in with hope and peace toward men in every home tonight."
Swedish Carol
"Do not ... hope wholly to reason away your troubles; do not feed them with attention, and they will die imperceptibly away. Fix your thoughts upon your business, fill your intervals with company, and sunshine will again break in upon your mind."
Dr. Samuel Johnson
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring which you have not; but remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for."
Epicurus
"Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
Sir James Matthew Barrie
