I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope.

Many possessions if they do not make a man better are at least expected to make his children happier and this pathetic hope is behind many exertions.

But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.

Hope deceiving as it is serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.

Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.

I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home at least I'll have a window with a view.

The issue of civil rights was too much for the establishment to handle. One of the chapters of history that's least studied by historians is the 300 to 500 riots in the U.S. between 1965 and 1970.

If I didn't have a front-row seat on history it was at least a seat on the aisle.

If we cannot now end our differences at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Swedes are such a civilised perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net a huge middle class free education free health care. People are very polite they wait their turn. They're not too loud they're not too quiet but sometimes it's a little too perfect.

My home State of North Carolina ranks 12th in the United States for increased aging population and according to a national report 41st in overall health. According to this same report individuals aged 50+ are the least healthy.

At least Obama was half-way honest about how much he was going to spend on health care. He had it at $600 billion. And the real number... is $1.2 trillion.

Because what happens is as the economy suffers tax revenues go down. But unlike businesses where at least your variable costs go down in government your variable costs go up: unemployment insurance workmen's compensation health care benefits welfare you name it.

Nor is it the least advantage to health accruing from such a way of life that it expose those who follow it to fewer temptations to vice than persons who live in crowded society.

Since therefore no man is born without faults and he is esteemed the best whose errors are the least let the wise man consider everything human as connected with himself for in worldly affairs there is no perfect happiness under heaven.

I've had at least my share of tragedy but I have had far more than my share of happiness.
