"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Robert Francis Kennedy
"How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot."
Albert Einstein
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Robert Francis Kennedy
"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however."
Richard David Bach
"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
Reinhold Niebuhr
"Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn."
Kalidasa
"No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high."
Harriet Du Autermont
"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession... Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less."
Robert Edward Lee
"If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man."
Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
"Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future."
Charles Franklin Kettering
"Something unpredictable but in the end it's right, I hope you have the time of your life."
Greenday
"[Today's students] can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. ... If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude."
Jesse Louis Jackson
"Weep for the lives your wishes never led."
Wystan Hugh Auden
"It is not enough to have knowledge, one must also apply it. It is not enough to have wishes, one must also accomplish."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
John Quincy Adams
"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings."
Hodding Carter
"He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own."
Confucius
"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
