Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence." Lin Yutang"Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. " Arundhati Roy"I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.""All the great spiritual leaders in history were people of hope. Abraham, Moses, Ruth, Mary, Jesus, all lived with a promise in their hearts that guided them toward the future without the need to know exactly what it would look like. Let's live with hope." Henry Nouwen"If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream." Martin Luther King Jr."I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death." Robert Fulghum
"Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow."
