Whether you believe or disbelieve, it is a wicked thing to take away Man's hope.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.

I believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

Our hope is a word and world of proud, independent nations that embrace their duties, seek friendship, respect others, and make common cause in the greatest shared interest of all: a future of dignity and peace for the people of this wonderful Earth.
