We live inside a democracy, and you know, public will matters in a democracy. I just hope it’s informed public will, and frankly, when the decisions are made, you understand the costs. – Michael Hayden
I know the government needs to ensure economic growth… we just hope it takes care of the environment, too. – Ma Jun
I like to say that the greatest handicap of deafness does not lie in the ear, it lies in the mind. I hope that through my example, such as my role on ‘The West Wing,’ I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything… except hear. – Marlee Matlin
‘Dandelion Wine’ became one of the few books that I returned to time and again, and while not anywhere near the story crafter as Mr. Bradbury, I hope I managed to absorb by osmosis some of his techniques. – Kim Harrison
There are so many actors whom I can be paired with… like Hrithik Roshan, but there hasn’t been an opportunity. Abhishek and I looked good together in ‘Sarkar.’ And of course, there’s Shah Rukh Khan, but I haven’t been offered a film with him yet. I hope to work with them in the future; it’s just a matter of time. – Katrina Kaif
I think America needs us. ‘Duck Dynasty’ has given some hope to bringing the family back. I want to set that example. – Kay Robertson
I haven’t seen or spoken to Ray Collins in at least 10 years so I don’t even know if he’s alive. I hope so. – Jimmy Carl Black
I don’t write literary fiction – I write books that are entertaining, but are also, I hope, well-constructed and thoughtful and funny and have things to say about men and women and families and children and life in America today. – Jennifer Weiner
Performers like to perform, and there’s certainly no disgrace in entertaining people, in giving pleasure, you hope, through your singing. My work defines who I am. – Kiki Dee
To work for months and months and months, you kind of spill blood and give your heart and soul to something, and then you just sort of let it out into the universe and hope that people like it. How you see it in your head is never how you see it on the screen, so it’s almost like an out of body experience. – Jaime Ray Newman
I didn’t come from a lot. I had a lot of love and support from my family, but as far as money and that type of thing, I didn’t really have any of that. All I did was follow my dreams. If my fans take anything from me, I hope it would be that. – Keke Palmer
Nobody, in my lifetime, in either party, has reached out with a message of hope, growth and opportunity to minorities better than Jack Kemp. – Lawrence Kudlow
My career’s consisted of all of those things that you hope would one day lead to being a series regular, and then your dreams grow from there. My career has been very steady, and I’ve been blessed in that I’ve been given everything that I can handle, at the right time. – Kimberly Quinn
To other Canadians who are on journeys to defeat cancer and to live their lives, I say this: please don’t be discouraged that my own journey hasn’t gone as well as I had hoped. You must not lose your own hope. – Jack Layton

They which have no hope of a life to come, may extend their griefs for the loss of this, and equal the days of their mourning with the years of the life of man. – John Pearson
I think what my hope is is that the only downside of having a steady job on television is, I think for all actors, there’s a piece, there’s some adrenaline, and part of the love of the job is not knowing what’s coming next, and the variety. – Lauren Graham
America’s tax code is beyond repair. Tinkering with it won’t work. The only hope is a bold tax-reform plan that will liberate our nation from the slow-growth status quo and jump-start a new era of American prosperity and growth. – Kevin Brady
There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia. – Kurt Vonnegut
I do hope that ‘Interstellar’ and this kind of science in film will catch the public fancy and help to reignite an interest in science – and a respect for the power of science in dealing with the problems that society has to deal with. – Kip Thorne
When we create hope and opportunity in the lives of others, we allow love, decency and promise to triumph over cowardice and hate. – Kirsten Gillibrand
A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn’t have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible. – Maria Sharapova
I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues. – Keanu Reeves
I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again. – Lesley Garrett
I’ve had letters from people who have read my articles and said, ‘I’m a guy, I’m 18, and I’ve not come out to my mom and dad yet, but it was so nice to hear your story, and you know, I wish your article would have been longer, because you gave me hope for the future.’ – Luke Evans
I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad. – Lady Gaga
