“When you have hope in the future, you have power in the present. And when you lose that hope, your dream goes with it.”

“If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.”

“When you have lost hope, you lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”

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

“You have to open up to the world and learn optimism… Contentment with the past, happiness with the present, and hope for the future. Learned optimisim.”

“I think that when you live in a world with limits… when you've met everyone and seem everything you're going to see - you lose the hope that something extraordinary will happen in your life”

“You have options when it comes to abortion now. It's not like 1955 when you just had to kick her down a staircase and hope for the best… you feed her a tapeworm and hope it takes a left at the Y.”

“As men, you stand at the center of the universe. You spout pearls of wisdom that shape the future of the world. So when your female friend comes to you, you might wonder: ‘Is she hoping to share her sadness with me? No, she must be hoping to learn something from me!’”

“I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.”

“Easter was when Hope in person surprised the whole world by coming forward from the future into the present.”
