That's what keeps me going: dreaming inventing then hoping and dreaming some more in order to keep dreaming.

Sureness is something like a neck brace which we clamp around our lives hoping to somehow protect ourselves from the frightening constant whiplash of change. Sadly the brace doesn't always hold.

Faith is the substance of hope - of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So if you can hope for it and imagine it and keep imagining and hoping and seeing yourself driving a new car or seeing yourself getting that job or seeing yourself excel seeing yourself help that person - that is faith.

It's far too much to say that effective hoping is the only - or even the biggest - part of what it takes to succeed. If 14% of business productivity can be attributed to hope that means 86% is dependent on raw talent fickle business cycles the quality of the product you're selling and often pure dumb luck.

I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

There are two ways to worry words. One is hoping for the greatest possible beauty in what is created. The other is to tell the truth.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves I could try and find it in me.

I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

Patience is the art of hoping.

I am hoping for peaceful transition into a new age. Obama has already played a great role in initiating us into that vision. If he were to be harmed in any way it would spawn the birth of a million Obamas.
