Hope

"Miracles need people as much as people need miracles."

"When you accept the fact that your true identity includes being an overcomer, you will never settle for less than a miracle."

"Miracles happen quietly every day—in an operating room, on a stormy sea, in the sudden appearance of a roadside stranger. They are rarely tallied. No one keeps score. But now and then, a miracle is declared to the world. And when that happens, things change"

"We only get either A Lesson or A Miracle."

"I am the salt of the earth, and I do not believe in the ninety percent rigmarole that is organized religion. But miracles? Miracles, my friend are a different thing entirely. From what I can see, miracles are built from love, and as far as love is concerned, I am a true believer."

"If I had married, there is much I would not have learned of myself. This has been hard and painful and horrible. But I've learned that I'm stronger than hard, better than pain, and that with enough luck, horrible can go away."

"Give the narrative a lighter tone than you think it deserves, dear boy, lighter than you think you can bear to give it," he instructed before I began to write, "because you won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope."

"Whenever the birds sing, I will remember you Claire. As long as the sun shines, I will love you. And when the sun darkens everything and the dead sky falls, I will hope to see life again, I will hope to see you. There was never much hope but a fool's hope and a fool am I."

"If you are a hope for someone, that’s very nice, but if you are a hope for everyone just like the Sun, that’s excellent!"

"A person with the best strategy never gets angry."

"Hope is not a strategy"

"How hard it is to kill hope! Time after time, one thinks one has trodden it down, stamped it to death. Time after time, like a noxious insect, it begins to stir again, it shivers back again into a faint tremulous life. Once more it worms its way into one's heart, to instil its poison, to gnaw away the solid hard foundations of life and leave in their place the hollow phantom of illusion."

"Until you really loving, kind, caring, and compassionate, happiness will be an illusion to you."

"I wish for today and dream of yesterday. If the gods should hold me in their favor, then I shall hope for tomorrow."

"Faith is Hope on a treadmill. Love is the reason we stay on."

"One excuse, could destroy a multitude of chances."

"Although she is far apart from me, but still we are living in the same air and under the same moon, when she breath i take her breath through the air to the core of my heart,i feel her,i smells her every moment…!"

"You will always find me behind the line of the Horizon"

"An optimist sees rainbows when there is rain."

"Hope It started out as snow,oh, big flakesfloating softly, catching on my sweater,lacy on the edges of my sleeves. Snow covered the dust, softened thefences, soothe the parched lipsof the land. And then it changedhalfway between snow and rain,sleet,glazing the earth. Until at lastit slipped into rain, light as mist. It was the kindest kind of rainthat fell. Soft and then a little heavier,helping alongwhat had already falleninto the hard-panearthuntil itrained,steady as a good friendwho walks beside you,not getting in your way,staying with you through a hard time. And because the rain came so patient and slow at first,and built up strength as the earthremembered how to yield,instead of washing off,the water slid in,into the dying groundand softened its stubborn pride,and eased it back toward life."
