Appetite, with an opinion of attaining, is called hope; the same, without such opinion, despair.
At bottom, everything depends upon the presence or absence of one single element in the soul - HOPE
Hope's interesting, isn't it? I can't turn hope off, it's hopeless.
Faith is inseparable from expectations. Where there is real faith, there is always expectation.
What is Hope?Hope is that inner dynamic that compels us to explore and pursue the expectations built into the human condition. Hope was born the day the first human beings discovered the first bridge and decided not to jump off the bridge in despair, but to cross it
The word "hope" I take for faith; and indeed hope is nothing else but the constancy of faith.
Hope is not an idle term. Hope is the reality that can and does reveal itself to us at God's choice hour. To hope is to know the secret of achievement.
Oh, what a valiant faculty is hope.
Wishes are false. Hope is true. Hope makes its own magic.
