“ He that lives upon hope will die fasting ”.

“ Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant ”.

“ The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last ”.

“ Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all ”.

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

“ Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man ”.

“ A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success ”.
