"Optimism
is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing
can be done without hope and confidence."
-- Helen Keller

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless.
But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope
and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working
to make things better.

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
“We
must accept finite disappointment, but we must
never lose infinite hope.”

Martin Luther
King, Jr

"We
must use time creatively — and forever realize that
the time is always to hope to do great things."
-- Martin Luther King Jr
The
very least you can do in your life is to figure out
what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside
that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right
in it, under its roof.
-- Barbara Kingsolver

Hope
is not enough to change the world, to bring peace,
to end starvation and poverty, to provide a decent
education for all children, or to prevent nuclear
holocaust. Yet it is a critical starting point for
building a better and brighter future. All of us
are challenged to connect hope to action until we
have created a might river that will carve a new
path to the future.

"I
don't believe in people just hoping. We work for
what we want. I always say that one has no right
to hope without endeavor..." -- Aung
San Suu Kyi
I
think by now I have made it fairly clear that
I am not very happy with the word "hope." I don't
believe in people just hoping. We work for what
we want. I always say that one has no right to
hope without endeavor, so we work to try and bring
about the situation that is necessary for the
country, and we are confident that we will get
to the negotiation table at one time or another.
This is the way all such situations pan out--
even with the most truculent dictator. -- Aung
San Suu Kyi

Hope
begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just
show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will
come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
-- Anne Lamott

Honest
hope has an edge. It's messy. It requires that we
let go of all pat answers, all preconceived formulas,
all confidence that our sailing will be smooth.
It's not a resting point. Honest hope is movement.
-- Frances Moore Lappé |
