Quotes on hope:

“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”—Vaclav Havel

“Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.”—St. Augustine

“Hope is that cuddly, fuzzy thing you take to your bosom, and the next thing you know, its sharp teeth are in your throat, its sharp claws are raking your belly, and your guts are lying in a steaming heap on the floor.”—Dori Koogler

“Despair looks for excuses not to act and always finds them. Hope, it’s opposite, always chooses to act. It’s in for good and whole hog. Even if the odds seem insurmountable and the resources inadequate. If all it has is five loaves and two small fish, or five smooth stones, or a wheelbarrow and a holocaust cloak, it will use whatever it’s got”.—Fred Clark.
