3 December 2020 Bill Cosby Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.
3 December 2020 Geezer Butler I don’t feel a lack of hope. It’s just disappointment that after all these years we’re still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.
3 December 2020 Jan Brewer So you know, I think that the federal government, the Democrats, and President Obama are selling a lot of hope and change, but no delivery of any of those promises.
3 December 2020 Phil Ochs And if there’s any hope for America, it lies in a revolution, and if there’s any hope for a revolution in America, it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Carroll It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.
3 December 2020 Whoopi Goldberg When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they’ll remember and be kind to someone else. And it’ll become like a wildfire.

3 December 2020 Jim Henson When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.
3 December 2020 Thomas Reed One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Everyone who feels stuck in the Obama economy is right to focus on the here and now. And I hope you understand this too, if you’re feeling left out or passed by: You have not failed, your leaders have failed you.
3 December 2020 Alexander Pope Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always To be Blest.
3 December 2020 Marion Zimmer Bradley It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
3 December 2020 Russell Simmons I try to make my life about service, and hope that one day we can all ‘see’ a little better because God is with everyone and everywhere.
3 December 2020 Alex Haley My fondest hope is that ‘Roots’ may start black, white, brown, red, yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man, that would make me feel 90 feet tall.

3 December 2020 NeNe Leakes I hope to stay on ‘Glee,’ I hope to still be a ‘Housewife’ and I hope to do ‘The New Normal.’ I just want to do it all! Why not? I’m only going to be young for a little while longer.
3 December 2020 Francois Hollande I know where I’m going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there, we will be able to put France back on its feet… to live better in five years than we do today.
3 December 2020 Ryan Gosling For now, I’m just going to keep doing the work and hope I don’t get fired. If people want to put me up on their walls, I’ll love it.

3 December 2020 Judith Viorst We will have to give up the hope that, if we try hard, we somehow will always do right by our children. The connection is imperfect. We will sometimes do wrong.
3 December 2020 Alveda King We’re reclaiming America and restoring honor. I believe we do that with faith, with hope, with charity, and honoring our brothers and our sisters as we honor each other.
3 December 2020 Martha Beck Whether you’ve seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
3 December 2020 William Ralph Inge Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.
3 December 2020 Gore Vidal Fifty percent of people won’t vote, and fifty percent don’t read newspapers. I hope it’s the same fifty percent.
