My dear sister, I hope, when God Almighty in his righteous providence shall take me out of time into eternity, that it will be by a flash of lightning.

To me, we're marketing hope.

Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope.

Ideology, politics and journalism, which luxuriate in failure, are impotent in the face of hope and joy.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

I hope you're representing the devil's advocate.

My hope is that 10 years from now, after I've been across the street at work for a while, they'll all be glad they gave me that wonderful vote.

And if there's any hope for America, it lies in a revolution, and if there's any hope for a revolution in America, it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord.

I think as a rifle platoon and company commander your view is about 1,000 meters in front of you and you hope you can cover that ground and not have to back up and give it up again.

Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
