We always have hoped that American diplomacy deploys itself in dialogue and persuasion rather than by ultimatums. That is the path we want in international relations.
- Mahmoud Abbas
I think she is growing up, and so begins to dream dreams, and have hopes and fears and fidgets, without knowing why or being able to explain them.
- Louisa May Alcott
To be friends is a beautiful thing, Tessa, and I do not scorn it, but I have hoped for a long time now that we might be more than friends.
- Cassandra Clare
She watched with a crashing surge of pride as he reached up and pulled the mask offhe was in full sunlight. The orangey red light of the setting sun outlined him. Poughkeepsie's dusk set the mood. No matter how much Blake healed, Livia had a feeling nighttime would always be their favorite. He disappeared from view, but she knew he was strong. So much stronger so much sooner than she could ever have hoped.
- Debra Anastasia
Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions.
- Jacques Barzun
Living without expectations is hard but, when you can do it, good. Living without hope is harder, and that is bad. You have got to have hope, and you must'nt shirk it. Love, after all, hopeth all things. But maybe you must learn, and it is hard learning, not to hope out loud, especially for other people. You must not let your hope turn into expectation.
- Wendell Berry
Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.
- Sarah Ban Breathnach
There are moments when you feel free, moments when you have energy, moments when you have hope, but you can't rely on any of these things to see you through. Circumstances do that.
- Anita Brookner
Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer, because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem.
- David D Burns
You were supposed to have hope, right? You were supposed to respect its power and hold on. And so I did. I held, and held, and let hope fill me. But as the days went on, it seemed I could be holding for a long, long time. Hope could be the most powerful thing or the most useless
- Deb Caletti
I have hope for you, if only because you're the only one left to hope for.
- Orson Scott Card
We believe that it is very important that we have hopefully averted what would have been the most substantial headwind of all, which is a default for the first time in our history, and that that will contribute to a more positive environment that we hope will allow for greater growth and job creation.
- Jay Carney
Even in the worst of situations-even when it seems no one in the world appreciates you-as long as you have hope, everthing can get better
- Chris Colfer
If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.
- Jacques Yves Cousteau
Beauty - the beauty Peter craves - is this, then: a human bundle of accidental grace and doom and hope. Mizzy must have hope, he must, he wouldn't shine like this if he were in true despair, and of course he's young, who in this world despairs more exquisitely than the young, it's something the old tend to forget.
- Michael Cunningham
The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man
- T S Eliot
If you have never wept bitter tears because a wonderful story has come to an end and you must take your leave of the characters with whom you have shared so many adventures, whom you have loved and admired, for whom you have hoped and feared, and without whose company life seems empty and meaningless.
If such things have not been part of your own experience, you probably won't understand what Bastian did next.
- Michael Ende
Because sometimes people who seem good
end up being not as good as you might have hoped.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
Sometimes people who seem good end up being not as good as you might have hoped, you know?
- Jonathan Safran Foer
Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. It was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
He is solid; immovable, iron-willed. He showed me one day his killing bottle. I'm imprisoned in it. Fluttering against the glass. Because I can see through it I still think I can escape. I have hope. But it's all an illusion.
A thick round wall of glass.
- John Fowles
They have hopes and dreams that may echo or overlap your own. And there's no reason why you can't make room for them. But what's happening to you right now, precisely at this instant, belongs only to you. Own it... This is your moment. Let someone else take the picture... just smile.
- Michael J Fox
I have been wearing black, which was a reaction to the Ginger thing. But now I have hopes and I can be anything. Tomorrow I might be naked with a feather boa, who knows?
- Geri Halliwell
She won't win," Eric said. He sounded confident, passionate--everything I might have hoped would be reassuring.
"You're sure?" I asked.
"Yes, my lover. I'm sure."
"But you're not here," I observed,
and I hung up very gently.
He didn't call back.
- Charlaine Harris
I'm a damaged person, but I have hope and a will to not give up.
- Juliana Hatfield
You have to aspire to everything to have hopes of doing something.
- Jean Paul Sartre
Her mom showed her that when life hands you tragedy, you can do two things with it. You can let it kick you down and make you weak and turn you into a victim. Or you can have hope that you'll get through it and there's still something amazing to live for.
Dylan tells me victims don't make it very far in life.
- Katie Kacvinsky
People have hope because they cannot see Death standing behind them.
- Tite Kubo
Novels ought to have hope; at least, American novels ought to have hope. French novels don't need to. We mostly win wars, they lose them. Of course, they did hide more Jews than many other countries, and this is a form of winning.
- Anne Lamott
I don't want you to be afraid of dying. All those people have survived cancer. You just watched hundreds of reasons to have hope drift off into the sky.
- M Leighton
We become our decisions over time. We choose to love, or we can choose to hate. We can choose to forgive, or we can choose to take revenge; to have hope, or we can choose to fall into despair. But, regardless, we become our choices we make over time. p. 318
- David Leroy
Do you girls have hope chests?' Lloyd asked.
We certainly do.'
I don't,' said Betsy. 'My husband and I are going to use paper plates and napkins.'
Poor Joe!'
Lucky Larry!
- Maud Hart Lovelace
I am of the opinion, and even more so the older I get, that it is more difficult to have hope than it is to despair. And I mean this in the sense that in order to have hope you must acknowledge the despair and then you have to get beyond it.

I used to be ashamed
And now I am proud.
The world once was black
And now it is bright.
I used to walk head bent
And now I stand up tall.
I used to have dreams
But now I have hope.
- Judith Mcnaught
I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.
- Maureen Ohara
I am not surprised that this is a longer bit of work than many of us would have hoped. It is not where any of us would have hoped it is. And I think we need to give credit to the Republicans in Congress who have done everything they can to defeat every jobs bill and slow down the economy.
- Martin Omalley
I shudder to think of an eternity spend without books. I have hopes that every book that was ever lost is somewhere waiting for me when my life here finally ends.
- Mel Odom
If you have Hope for a needed change...Faith that it will happen someday & Courage to stand against all adversity and make it happen...You have the dire tools to change the world!
- Timothy Pina
If you have a heartbeat...you can have hope. If you have hope...you have the tools that can bring you to a better tomorrow. These tools have the power to bring you out of all despair. Now keep your head up...Because Anything Is Possible.

Depression isn't a bad word...but it can destroy. We must have hope we can save many...We must keep the faith that we can try to help all!

Just having hope ain't going to cut it. You've got to have hope, passion and skills.
- Tim Reid
If you still believe, you must have hope. You must believe that happiness is possible for you too.
- Sylvain Reynard
...You can only subject people to anguish who have a conscience. You can only punish people who have hopes to frustrate or attachments to sever; who worry what you think of them. You can really only punish people who are already a little bit good.
- Lionel Shriver
She held the money to her chest and tried to fathom Alexander's heart. He was the man who, a few meters away from freedom, from America, had chosen to turn his back on his lifelong drea. Feel one way. Behave one way, too. Alexander may have hoped for America, but he believed more in him-self. And he loved Tatiana most of all. Alexander knew who he was.
He was a man who kept his word.
And he had given it to Dimitri.
- Paullina Simons
Because if a woman's heart was free a man might have hope.
- Bram Stoker
With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
- Studs Terkel
I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.
- Studs Terkel
Only those who still have hope can benefit from tears.

The Divine Thing that made itself the foundation of the Church does not seem, to judge by his comments on the religious leadership of his day, to have hoped much from officers of a church.
