Hope and Optimism

Fortune, good night, smile once more; turn thy wheel!

The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.

Who lin’d himself with hope, Eating the air on promise of supply.

Past hope, past cure, past help!

The day shall not be up so soon as I, To try the fair adventure of tomorrow.

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow’s wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.

So part we sadly in this troublous world, To meet with joy in sweet Jerusalem.

Now, God be prais’d, that to believing souls Gives light in darkness, comfort in despair!

Keep your face always towards the sunshine—and the shadows will fall behind you.

Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.

Human misery must somewhere have a stop. There is no wind that always blows a storm.

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.

Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.

Hope is a waking dream.

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.

I have been on the verge of being an angel all my life, but it's never happened yet.

Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

A pessimist is a well-informed optimist.

Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself.

It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right

Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.

Gradually the healing took place, seeming as it always does that it wasn't taking place.

As long as some suffer The River Flows Forever As long as there is pain The River Flows Forever As strong as a smile can be The River will Flow Forever

One’s thoughts turn towards Hope.
