Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

God Almighty first planted a garden.

There be none of the affections, which have been noted to fascinate or bewitch, but love and envy. They both have vehement wishes; they frame themselves readily into imaginations and suggestions; and they come easily into the eye, especially upon the present of the objects; which are the points that conduce to fascination, if any such thing there be.

You've got too many formats adult contemporary, adult alternative, soft rock, neo-soul come on! ... I'm hoping I will fit in all the marketplaces and not be limited to one place in music.

Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost;Evil,be thou my good.

Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest. The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

“I hope, some day or another, we shall become a storehouse and granary for the world.”

I'm not a method actor; I hope you know that!

“Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.”

“One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything’s fine today, that is our illusion.”

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” 

“The audacity of hope! I still remember my grandmother, singing in the house, ‘There’s a bright side somewhere … don’t rest till you find it ….’” “That’s right!” “The audacity of hope!” 

“America will rise again. And hope will rise again.” 

“The title of Reverend Wright’s sermon that morning was “The Audacity of Hope.” 

“We are a people of improbable hope.” 

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” 

“Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.” 

“Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us...A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.” 

“I know how men in exile feed on dreams of hope.” 

“I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death” 

So perished the hope founded on the wonderful being who thus ceased to be. In the study room to which he was never to return, the water buttercups he had brought from the country were still fresh. 

For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope.
