Famous quotes containing the word hoped:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“All day I’d looked in the face
What I had hoped ‘twould be
To write for my own race
And the reality;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Hebrews, 11:1.
