"Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man."	Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it ws the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."	Charles Dickens
"The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone. You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it."	Elaine Agather
"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
"Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts which simply do not make evolutionary sense."	Richard Dawkins
"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
"To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime."	Erich Fromm
"Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"I wish I could shrink down to the size of an ant. And maybe there would be thousands of other people shrunken down to ant-size, and we would get together and dig tunnels down into the ground and live there. But don't ever call us 'ants,' because we hate that."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money, but even ... without any hope of doing it well."	Oliver Herford
"A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day."	Anna Mary Robertson Moses
"No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a really nice man who wishes she were not."	Mary Catherine Bateson
"We stand today on the edge of a new frontier-the frontier of the 1960s-a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils-a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Learn from the past, Hope for the future, Live in the present."	Ken Lancaster
"The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope."	Walter Benjamin
"So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter."	Gordon William Allport
"Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."	Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead;"	Pierre Corneille
"I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"I hope that after I die, people will say of me: 'That guy sure owed me a lot of money.'"	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
