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

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

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.

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

Our constitution is a ray of hope: H for harmony, O for Opportunity, P for people's participation and E for equality.

The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope.
