Quotations by Subject: Hope (29 quotes)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

The best hope is that one of these days the ground will get disgusted enough just to walk away - leaving people with nothing more to stand on than what they have so bloody well stood for up to now.: Kenneth Patchen
Young people are more hopeful at a certain age than adults, but I suspect that's glandular. As for children, I keep as far from them as possible. I don't like the sight of them. The scale is all wrong. The heads tend to be too big for the bodies, and the hands and feet are a disaster. They keep falling into things. The nakedness of their bad character! We adults have learned how to disguise our terrible character, but children, well, they are like grotesque drawings of us. They should be neither seen nor heard, and no one must make another one.: Gore Vidal (1925 - ), Conversations With Gore Vidal - 1981
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.: Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.: La Rochefoucauld
He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hope for the human condition is a fool.: Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party when the masks are dropped.: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
America has begun a spiritual reawakening. Faith and hope are being restored. Americans are turning back to God. Church attendance is up. Audiences for religious books and broadcasts are growing. And I do believe that he has begun to heal our blessed land.: President Ronald Reagan, to the National Association of Evangelicals, Columbus, Ohio
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Before emphasizing what I believe, perhaps I should point out what I do not believe, or what I no longer believe: I no longer believe in the magic of the spoken word. It signifies not order but disorder. It does not eliminate chaos, it only conceals it. It no longer carries men's hopes but distorts them. It has ceased to be a vehicle, only to become an obstacle. It does not signify sharing but compromise.: Elie Weisel, From the Kingdom of Memory
Basically a dog person. I certainly, though, wouldn't want to offend my constituents who are cat people, and I should say that being, I hope, a sensitive person, that I have nothing against cats, and had cats when I was a boy, and if we didn't have the two dogs might very well be interested in having a cat now.: Incoming Missouri Congressman James Talent, responding to the question "Are you a dog or a cat person?"
