Hope

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you."

"Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever."

"Simplicity, not cleverness, can be the source of happiness."

"The first duty of a man is to think for himself"

"Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of."

"Today is yesterday's victory, yesterday is tomorrow's conquest, and tomorrow is today's war. Though I face death, I am not fearsome."

"You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy. We'll remember those who fell, and we'll tell our children how we stood when the clouds turned black and the world started to die. We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through."

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy."

"You see, Christ's purpose can't be derailed by your limitations or troubles. Your difficulties will not trip Him up or cause Him delays. Painful trials, which may bring you to your knees will not baffle our Creator. He has a God-sized dream waiting for you to accomplish. His majestic plan is sovereign. Ultimately, He could use anything to graciously lead you to victory."

"Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect."

"Count your blessings, not your misfortunes, for your blessings will be the light of hope, in the dark of hopelessness."

"Let my love show you the way and give you guidance in the moment of need."

"Love those wrongdoers, they need it more than you."

"If you're reading this... Congratulations, you're alive. If that's not something to smile about,then I don't know what is."

"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all."

"To watch. To wait. To wonder at a world in chaos,' the girl said. 'And hope one day you fools might learn."

"Why do we live out every day as if there is no hope to overcome our chaos and no possibility for living a stressed-less life when Scripture repeatedly reassures us that God has the power and the peace to make that happen?"

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one."
