Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Christian D. Larson
Where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith. Robert Brault
Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy
It’s important to emphasize that hope is only a beginning; it’s not a substitute for action, only a basis for it. Rebecca Solnit
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free. Pearl S. Buck
We yearned for the future. How did we learn it, that talent for insatiability? Margaret Atwood
Fear created gods; audacity created kings. Prosper Jolyot de Crebillon
The past is made out of facts… I guess the future is just hope. Isaac Marion
Hope – hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope. Barack Obama

Part 4. The Best Hope Speeches
Barack Obama
Hope is what led a band of colonists to rise up against an empire;
what led the greatest of generations to free a continent and heal a nation;
what led young women and young men to sit at lunch counters and brave fire hoses and march through Selma and Montgomery for freedom’s cause.
Hope is what led me here today – with a father from Kenya, a mother from Kansas;
and a story that could only happen in the United States of America.
Hope is the bedrock of this nation; the belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us;
by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is;
who have courage to remake the world as it should be.
Howard Zinn
To be hopeful in bad times is based on the fact that human history is not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something.
If we remember those times and places where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand Utopian future.
The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime, therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone. Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
Kalidasa
Listen to the exhortation of the dawn!
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of beauty;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And to-morrow is only a vision;
But to-day well lived makes
Every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit.
Start whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same.
There are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before.
I hope you meet people who have a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again. Click to tweet
