I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. – George Washington
Throughout the ages, Christians have adapted John of Patmos’s visions to changing times, reading their own social, political and religious conflicts into the cosmic war he so powerfully evokes. Yet his Book of Revelation appeals not only to fear and desires for vengeance but also to hope. – Elaine Pagels
It means that through knowledge have come responsibility and hope, and through both, action. – Edward Livingston
I love my country, and it hurts not to be able to see my country, as I did for so many years. I hope that I will one day be able to live in a peaceful Colombia. – Fernando Botero
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind. – Eugene Cernan
I think I am done with Wikipedia for the time being. But I have a secret hope. Someone recently proposed a Wikimorgue – a bin of broken dreams where all rejects could still be read, as long as they weren’t libelous or otherwise illegal. – Nicholson Baker
I hope to actually get back to painting someday… soon. I sort of transitioned into cartooning from painting. – Max Cannon
It’s a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it’s getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon. – Marat Safin
Al Qaeda’s message that violence, terrorism and extremism are the only answer for Arabs seeking dignity and hope is being rejected each day in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and throughout the Arab lands. – Elliott Abrams
It was stunning actually, because what you would hope for from our national leaders is some reflection, some understanding that the situation that we encountered in Iraq was not what we expected, that it was not what he said it would be. – Chris Van Hollen
I hope we can keep doing it this way – making music and art that are pure products of our influences while not really having to let the whole celebrity side of it get in the way. Then maybe more virtual bands will come out and do the same thing. – Damon Albarn
Traveling to Europe and traveling in the U.S.A. was a much different experience. ‘On the Road’ exemplified everything glamorous that was happening on this side of the planet. The book puts off some kind of sweet melody – part hope for the world, part nostalgic. – Edward Ruscha
I always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture – you always can hope for another project to design. – Cesar Pelli
One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it. – Galen Rowell
I was born in 1949, and by the time I was 10, I figured out that my hope chest was not aimed in the same direction everybody else’s was. And that life was going to be very, very complicated. And that I could either be provocative and declamatory, or shy, retiring and scared. – Dorothy Allison
People ask me, ‘Why don’t you take time off?’ but the working class doesn’t take time off. They’re out there working every day. That’s what I do, too. I want them to know there is hope, and I’m out there just like they are. – Donald Cerrone
Those memories of living in a developing nation are part of who I am today and give me a profound understanding of the challenges of economic development – an understanding which will make my tenure as Peace Corps director, I hope, a very special one. – Elaine Chao
I’ve written a lot of books now; I’ve been published for over 30 years. I hope with every book I learn something new, and with every new novel I try to improve the process of writing. – Charlaine Harris
Charter’s merger sales pitch is pretty straightforward: it argues that it has always been too small to bully Internet companies, TV makers, and its own customers, so it has’un-cable’ practices they hope to extend. – Marvin Ammori
I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam. – Debra Winger
Given the unprecedented ignorance of the Bible in contemporary America, it is likely that more young Americans will only know the Noah of ‘Noah.’ We can only hope that the film offers even a fraction of the wisdom of the original. – Dennis Prager
I am Indian, and my home is Kampala. My world is already diverse. But films are financed by those who want to see themselves on screen, and it is a white male world. Still, it does feel like America is waking up. Let’s hope it’s the start of an avalanche. – Mira Nair
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. – Elbert Hubbard
