Hope
(page 3)
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul — and sings the tunes without the words — and never stops at all.
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier'.
I always start my New Year at church with my family. I see it as a fresh beginning — like a new chance we get to renew our lives, perhaps? Starting it by praying gives me a lot of hope for the future.
Professionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring — an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed.
There is a quiet about the life of a farmer, and the hope of a serene old age, that no other business or profession can promise.
My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech, and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas, but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.
Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
I am closest to my mother, as she is my rock, my pillar of strength, and my world. Not only has she stood by me through all times - happy, sad, and otherwise - but there have even been moments when I had completely lost hope, and her immense belief in me had lifted me up.
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
I'm very honoured that there is a loyal following and I hope it continues.
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse.
As our values are the core to who we are as human beings, they are also the easiest way to identify and connect with others in meaningful ways. Think about it — most political campaigns are based around values. Barack Obama's 2008 election campaign galvanized millions of youth behind two very clear values — hope and change.
I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I'll be satisfied.
