For if there is a sin against life it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.

Nor dread nor hope attend a dying animal a man awaits his end dreading and hoping all.

You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.

I'm hoping someday that some kid black or white will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is I'd be pulling for him.

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.

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day rather than a sex symbol.

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

Well clearly for me in the immediate future it is grappling like so many other governors are grappling with the economic woes of these states. We were all hoping to see some federal relief.

It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying... I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not I don't know what the future holds.

It's funny though because when I first started going to races after we met I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone so I was really hesitant.

In my travels I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son Hudson to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods so it could be easier in theory than practice!

I am hoping that in this year of the family we will go into our families and reconcile differences.

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.

Games have grown and developed from this limited in-the-box experience to something that's everywhere now. Interactive content is all around us networked ready. This is something I've been hoping for throughout my career.

I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it's like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.
