Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Hope is one of those things that you can't buy, but that will be freely given to you if you ask. Hope is the one thing people cannot live without. Hope is a thing of beauty.

Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.

Henry David Thoreau

My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Janna Levin

One day I sat thinking, almost in despair; a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said reassuringly: cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse.

James Hagerty

Jennifer Morrison

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

Junipero Serra

You can't let yourself be pushed around. You can't live in fear. That's no way to live your life.

Bernhard Goetz

When any real progress is made, we unlearn and learn anew what we thought we knew before.

Henry David Thoreau

The House of Commons starts its proceedings with a prayer. The chaplain looks at the assembled members with their varied intelligence and then prays for the country.

Lord Denning

I no more thought of style or literary excellence than the mother who rushes into the street and cries for help to save her children from a burning house, thinks of the teachings of the rhetorician or the elocutionist.
