"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
"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die."	Edward Kennedy
"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!"	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"On Fathers Day, we again wish you all happy birthday."	Ralph Kiner
"There is a terrible war coming, and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen, but I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war."	Robert Edward Lee
"To break a promise is to deny the reality of the past; Therefore it is to deny the hope of a real future...."	Ursala Lequin
"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
"Many a man wishes he were strong enough to tear a telephone book in half-especially if he has a teenage daughter."	Guy Albert Lombardo
"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."	Sir John Lubbock
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."	Martin Luther
"I am treating you as my friend, asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses."	Katherine Mansfield
"Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire."	Orison Swett Marden
"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."	Susanna Moodie
"There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't."	William Least Heat Moon
"Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment."	Napoleon I
"I am sure you will be guided right in your decision, to place implicit faith in his integrity and honesty. Best wishes from one who has known Richard longer than anyone else. His mother."	Hannah Nixon
"There is... in our day, a powerful antidote to nonsense, which hardly existed in earlier times - I mean science. Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war. That is, perhaps from an intellectual point of view, the most hopeful feature of our age, and the one which makes it most likely that we shall escape complete submersion in some new or old superstition."	Bertrand Russell
"You've gotta have hope. Without hope life is meaningless. Without hope life is meaning less and less."	Author Unknown
"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. It is better to know even if the knowledge endures only for the moment that comes before destruction than to gain eternal life at the price of a dull and swinish lack of comprehension of a universe that swirls unseen before us in all its wonder. That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too."	Isaac Asimov
"Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate. (Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here)"	Alighieri Dante
