“Hope is a gift. You can't choose to have it. To believe and yet to have no hope is to thirst beside a fountain.”

“Always believe in your dreams, because if you don't, you'll still have hope.”

“Once you choose hope, anything's possible.”

“You can now, if you choose, employ your present success to advantage, so as to keep what you have got and gain honour and reputation besides, and you can avoid the mistake of those who meet with an extraordinary piece of good fortune, and are led on by hope to grasp continually at something further, through having already succeeded without expecting it.”

“Yet I strode on austere;
No hope could have no fear.”

“Radical hope anticipates a good for which those who have the hope as yet lack the appropriate concepts with which to understand it.”

“If I wanted to doubt then I could doubt endlessly. But at some point a person has to stop questioning and act, and at that point you have to trust something to be true. You have to act as if something is true, and so you choose the thing you have the most reason to believe in, you have to live in the world that you have the most hope in.”

“Give hope (the magic ingredient for success) — you will have hope and be made hopeful.”

“You, Honor, you first veiled
The fountains of delight,
Denying those waves to the thirsting lovers.”

“Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless?”
