I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I'm an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.
The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.
I wish you the best that can be hoped for, and no worse than can be expected.
To the being of fully alive, the future is not ominous but a promise; it surrounds the present like a halo.
I see the turning of the page, curtain rising on a new age, see the groom still waiting at the altar.
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine.
My future will be better than my past.
I am very, very hopeful about the American South - I believe that we will lead America to what Dr. King called 'the beloved community.'
Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for never is life so low or so little as when occupied with the present.
Under the sublime law of progress, the present outgrows the past. The great heart of humanity is heaving with the hopes of a brighter day. All the higher instincts of our nature prophesy its approach; and the best intellects of the race are struggling to turn that prophecy into fulfilment.
We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.
The best part is still ahead of me - I haven't experienced my 'good old days' yet.
Leavening the flat bread of what we know, with the yeast of what we dream may come to pass.
We will remember that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea:- Yes. We. Can.
Hold high the brow serene, O youth, where now you stand; Let the bright sheen Of your grace be seen, Fair hope of my fatherland!
I'm not as optimistic as Gene Roddenberry was. I fall somewhere in the middle. But as a romantic, I like to think things are going to get bigger rather than worse.
You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.
One day, our love will conquer this dark circle. That's worth everything to me
The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.
With a stroke of love on the canvas of my soul I'm painting a perfect world with shades of Michelangelo With each promise made in every heart that knows we can live in a perfect world in shades of Michelangelo I hear songs of children echo in the sky I hear songs of children a tomorrow so bright!
So today I say, the outlook in Georgia has never been brighter.
I am hopeful that one day I will meet that right man and will have a very happy life partner.
Lord knows there's a lot of bad news in the world today to get you down, but there is one big thing happening that leaves me incredibly hopeful about the future, and that is the budding revolution in global online higher education.
. . . hope resides in the future, while perspective and wisdom are almost always found by looking to the past.
