"Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity..."
Václav Havel
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for .success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good."
Václav Havel
"If we wish to know the force of human genius we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning we may study his commentators."
William Hazlitt
"I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't."
Ernest Miller Hemingway
"Hope is the poor man's bread."
George Herbert
"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings."
Carter Hodding
"To be 70 years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be 40 years old."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
"To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Horace
"We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself."
Aldous Leonard Huxley
"At the moment of death I hope to be surprised."
Ivan Illich
"I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone."
Javan
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive."
Thomas Jefferson
"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."
Thomas Jefferson
"Joy seems to me a step beyond happiness -- happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes, when you're lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love."
Adela Rogers St. Johns
"Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning."
Dr. Samuel Johnson
"What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence."
Dr. Samuel Johnson
"I knew from the start if I left a woman I really loved -- the Great Society -- in order to fight that bitch of a war [in Vietnam] … then I would lose everything at home. My hopes … my dreams."
Lyndon Baines Johnson
"We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future."
Joseph Joubert
