Famous quotes containing the word hopes:
“As for America, it is the ideal fruit of all your youthful hopes and reforms. Everybody is fairly decent, respectable, domestic, bourgeois, middle-class, and tiresome. There is absolutely nothing to revile except that it’s a bore.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Then we shall rust in shade, or shine in strife,
And fluctuate ‘twixt blind hopes and blind despairs,
And fancy that we put forth all our life,
And never know how with the soul it fares.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“When pain of the world surrounds us with darkness and despair,
When searching just confounds us with false hopes ev’rywhere,
When lives are starved for meaning and destiny is bare,
We are called to follow Jesus and let God’s healing flow through us.”
—Jim Strathdee (20th century)
