"It is always wise to stop wishing for things long enough to enjoy the fragrance of those now flowering."	Patrice Gifford
"If you wish in this world to advance Your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, And blow your own trumpet, Or, trust me, you haven't a chance."	William S. Gilbert
"Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest: Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers: Love, nightmare-like, lies heavy on my chest, And weaves itself into my midnight slumbers!"	William S. Gilbert
"Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope."	Arnold H. Glasgow
"He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"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
"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
"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
"Hope, like the gleaming taper's light Adorns and cheers our way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray."	Oliver Goldsmith
"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
"Something unpredictable but in the end it's right, I hope you have the time of your life."	Greenday
"It meant that New York philanthropists, New York society, would now rediscover the library. ... that learning, books, education have glamour, that self-improvement has glamour, that hope has glamour."	Vartan Gregorian
"Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind."	Häfiz
"I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it..."	Learned Hand
"What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one's faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely on our works--my God, what would become of us?"	George Frederick Handel
"If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"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]
