The powdery light of winter, the hopeful expressions of people who lived among shadows and silence, lent that setting a slight air of promise in which at least children and those who had learned the art of forgetting could still believe.
how poor and disheartening a thing is experience compared with hope!
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.
I've always been very hopeful which I guess isn't strange coming from me. I don't want to call myself an optimist. I want to say that I've always been full of hope. I've never lost that. I have a lot of hope for this country and for the entire world. . .

Do not allow darkness and gloom to enter into your hearts. I want to give you a rule by which you may know that the spirit which you have is the right spirit. The Spirit of God produces cheerfulness, joy, light and good feelings. Whenever you feel gloomy and despondent and are downcast, unless it be for your sins, you may know it is not the Spirit of God which you have. Fight against it and drive it out of your heart. The Spirit of God is a spirit of hope; it is not a spirit of gloom.
A world without hope, but no despair
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.
He who has never hoped can never despair
We need hope. There's nothing worse than to live a life of despair. For a person to have no hope just sucks the blue out of every sky.
