Quotes on Hope

More friends than I can count are facing difficulty at the moment – financial trouble, health issues, and broken relationships. I don’t think there is anyone whose life is always a bed or roses. The difference between someone who falls into despair, turning to substance abuse or worse, and someone who comes out of their difficulties a stronger person is this… hope. I’m a “the cup is half full” kind of person, so I “hope” these thoughts will conjure a little light in the darkness.

Don't lose hope. When it gets darkest the stars come out.

If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost:
that is where they should be. Now, put foundations under them.
