Darling, replied Valentine, has not the count just told us that all human wisdom was contained in these two words,- "Wait and hope"?
I vehemently deny that I was born a cynic and a pessimist.
What is hope? Hope is wishing for a thing to come true; faith is believing that it will come true.
Every moment in life is an act of faith
We do not live by what is possessed but by what is promised.
We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope
Who doesn't need hope in their lives: hope that something can change, that someone cares, that not only bad things happen unexpectedly but good things can happen to us too?
I have a lot of faith in us. I have a lot of faith in humanity. It's based, though, on my own life; I've come too far to be a pessimist.
Hope and faith are two intimate brothers; they always go together. Hope nourishes faith and faith treasures hope.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
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.
To the man of faith, there is always a future.
To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition
True faith is ever connected with hope.
I just am a believer...that there are some things that happen for a reason...We may not be able to really discern it now...[but] given the perspective of time, I think we're going to be able to look back at this, and what seemed really bad at the time may turn out to be really good.
I try not to plan ahead. I just kind of try to think in the moment. I always believe everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
What good I see humbly I seek to do, And live obedient to the law, in trust That what will come, and must come, shall come well.
I'm not worried about tomorrow, because God is there already, waiting for me.
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
Be not dismayed; in the future lies the Promised Land.
Have faith in your destiny
We need to have faith in the future to make sense of the present.
Faith in humanity, in posterity, in the destiny of one's religion, nation, race, party or family-what is it but the visualization of that eternal something to which we attach the self that is about to be annihilated?
I'm still breathing because I have faith. My faith and my kids are the two things that matter.
