Thematic Thursdays: Hope

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'. 
Erma Bombeck

Hope is a waking dream. 
Aristotle 

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. 
Albert Einstein 

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. 
Stendhal 

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. 
Winston Churchill

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. 
Helen Keller 


 To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. 
Gilbert K. Chesterton
