that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
-- Helen Keller

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved,
you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are
working to make things better.
-- Pauline R. Kezer

If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life 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.
-- Martin Luther King,
Jr
“We must accept finite
disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.” --
Martin Luther King, Jr

"We must use time
creatively — and forever realize that the time is always to hope to do great things."
-- Martin Luther King
Jr
The very
least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most
you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right
in it, under its roof.
-- Barbara Kingsolver

Hope is not enough to change the world, to bring peace, to end starvation and
poverty, to provide a decent education for all children, or to prevent nuclear
holocaust. Yet it is a critical starting point for building a better and brighter
future. All of us are challenged to connect hope to action until we have created
a might river that will carve a new path to the future. -- David

I think by now I have
made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word "hope." I don't believe
in people just hoping. We work for what we want. I always say that one has no
right to hope without endeavor, so we work to try and bring about the situation
that is necessary for the country, and we are confident that we will get to the
negotiation table at one time or another. This is the way all such situations
pan out-- even with the most truculent dictator. -- Aung
San Suu Kyi |
Hope begins in the
dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing,
the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
-- Anne
Lamott
