Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue
inherent in the state of being alive.
If life is to be sustained hope must remain,
even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.Erik H. Erikson
Where did you wander?You faded away...
You were the light.
You were the hope.
I opened my eyes and finally realized
the power was within my hands.
Never deprive someone of hope;it might be all they have.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman,
before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
John Quincy Adams
Facing the moment of darknessMy heart ached and tears ran freely
Facing the pain and loneliness
I found my strength once more to fly.
You hold the power to choose:Between life and despair
Between now and never
Between laughter and anger
This is the moment to choose...to hope...to smile...
HOPE is the companion of power, and mother of success;for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.
Samuel Smiles
Johnson
It is almost impossible to smile on the outside
without feeling better on the inside.
