"Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the president' s spouse. I wish him well!"
Barbara Bush
"The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started."
Norman Cousins
"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
"Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites."
Sigmund Freud
"Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped."
Lillian Hellman
"Beware how you take away hope from any human being."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Aldous Leonard Huxley
"All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price."
Juvenal

Dean Koontz
"I'm always there to tell people that their life is not that bad. I wish it was easy to follow that advice It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not."
Mignon McLaughlin
"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
"The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake."
Aristotle
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
F(rancis) Scott
"If I come back as an animal in my next lifetime, I hope it's some type of parasite, because this is the part where I take it EASY!"
Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"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
"We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified."
Aesop
"To God all things are beautiful, good, and right; human beings, on the other hand, deem some things right and others wrong. It would not be better if things happened to people just as they wish."
Heraclitus
"Men and women are limited not by the place of their birth, not by the color of their skin, but by the size of their hope."
John Johnson
"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."
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
"I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway."
Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
