“Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.”
“History says, Don't hope/On this side of the grave/But then, once in a lifetime/The longest-for tidal wave of justice can rise up/And hope and history rhyme./So hope for a great sea change/On the far side of revenge/Believe in miracles....”
“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”
“Hope is believing in spite of the evidence, and then watching the evidence change.”
“...believing in the magic of life, the power of hope, the cosmic sanity of chance and change, and the unmistakable power of love.”
“Ageing is a process of exchanging hope for insight”
