"Hope is a waking dream."
Aristotle
"True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be
a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome.
True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort."
Walter Anderson
"Not knowing when the dawn will come,
I open every door."
Emily Dickinson
"Hope does not necessarily take the form of excessive
confidence;
rather, it involves the simple willingness to take the next step."
Stanley Hauerwas
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just
show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch
and work: you don't give up.
Anne Lamott
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."
Martin Luther
