Hope is mine today...



The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Allan K. Chalmers
(1759-1834)

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them.
Louisa May Alcott
(1832-1888)

If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all.
And so today I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr
(1929-1968)

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
Robert Fulghum
(1937)

Hope is the dream of a soul awake.
French Proverb

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
Václav Havel
(1936)

FYI, the one I'm talking about is a cartoon about two friends....I don't think it's an official video, maybe just something by a youtube fan.
