Dieter F. Uchtdorf Quotes

No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.

Courage and comfort, all shall yet go well

Spira, spera. (breathe, hope)

To hope is to see with the eye of the heart. To hope is to make the heart captain the vital and the body. To hope is to send darkness-night into exile.

When hope is hungry, everything feeds it

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.

Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

We are a people of improbable hope.

I am optimistic about the future. Brethren, for our part, we must remain steadfast in hope, work with all our strength, and trust in God.

I think the one thing that I cannot do without each day is hope. If you put me in a position where you took all my hope away, I'm not sure I could make it through the day.

Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have faith to see it.

Optimism is a matter optics, of seeing what you want to see and not seeing what you don't want to see. Hope, on the other hand, is a Christian virtue. It is the unblinking acknowledgment of all that militates against hope, and the unrelenting refusal to despair. We have not the right to despair, and, finally, we have not the reason to despair

(H)ope, be it never so faint, bringeth a gleam into darkness, like a little rushlight that costeth but a groat.

Hope is the enduring belief in the attainability of fervent wishes, in spite of the dark urges and rages which mark the beginning of existence. Hope is the ontogenetic basis of faith, and is nourished by the adult faith which pervades patterns of care.

I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing. Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up.... and handle it.

If we lose our hope, that's our real disaster!

Hope means to keep living amid desperation and to keep humming in the darkness.

Whatever happens, do not lose hold of the two main ropes of life - hope and faith.

Hope begins in the dark.

Hope keeps you alive.

I want the world to see, you can have a million stones thrown at you and you can still be positive.

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.

If falling into desperation worked to make things better, then I would say, 'Let's all jump into despair.' But it doesn't help. The only way to truly find meaning and fulfillment is to look at the disaster, the pain, the difficulty, and know with complete certainty that good can come from this.

While we may lose heart, we never have to lose hope.
