"This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life."	Charles Augustus Lindbergh
"Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel."	Charles Caleb Colton
"Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future."	Charles Franklin Kettering
"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods? The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses? -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men."	Clive Staples Lewis
"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth - only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."	Clive Staples Lewis
"He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own."	Confucius
"Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice."	Corazón Cojuangco Aquino
"Having the world's best idea will do you no good unless you act on it. People who want milk shouldn't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in hopes that a cow will back up to them."	Curtis Grant
"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood.... Make big plans... aim high in hope and work."	Daniel Hudson Burnham
"Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love."	Dean Koontz
"We are an arrogant species, full of terrible potential, but we also have a great capacity for love, friendship, generosity, kindness, faith, hope, and joy."	Dean Koontz
"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true."	Demosthenes
"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."	Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning."	Dr. Samuel Johnson
"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."	Dr. Samuel Johnson
"What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence."	Dr. Samuel Johnson
"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
"Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity."	Dr. Thomas Fuller
"Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"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
