Hope for the heart, the soul, for mankind

If it were not for hope, the heart would break. John Ray

Hope encourages men to endure and atempt everything. In depriving them of it or in making it too distant, you deprive them of their very soul. Maurice de Saxe

When hope is hungry, everything feeds it. Mignon McLaughlin

Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed. Jim Wallis

Keep hope alive. Jesse Jackson

The hope of the world lies in what one demands, no of others, but of oneself. James Baldwin

At times, we are all called upon to push forward through the pains and troubles of the heart, the soul, and the body. Oftentimes, we cannot see the end. Frequently, we cannot even see the path. Yet we must push forward into the uncertainty of tomorrow's world or we will surely drown in the troubles of today's.

It is hope that gives us the strength to carry on.

And we do.

Each and every one of us.

Each and every day.

Pindar

Even now I am full of hope, but the end lies in God.
Pindar

Zig Ziglar

Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable.
Zig Ziglar

The Big Zig is right. You are capable. It is up to you to endure your present situation or to change it.

You can create a beautiful world.

You can find love.

You can be a success.

It is your choice because you are capable.

Goethe

Everybody wants to be somebody. Nobody wants to grow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Success takes work, unless you get lucky and win the lottery. I would retire tomorrow if I bought a million-dollar ticket. But that will only happen to a very small group. Most of us will have to put in the sweat if we want to see results.

No man has any right to ask for more than your best, but you should never settle for less than it.

Mickey Rooney

You always pass failure on your way to success.
Mickey Rooney

Ah, the Mickster knows what he is doing. He was a small-time actor. He became the biggest draw in the world. Then he was a has-been. And finally, he made his way back into some important pictures.

What would have happened if he had given up along the way? He wouldn't have enjoyed the many successes of his career.

If you want success, you must keep fighting the good fight. You don't have to win each and every day. Mickey sure didn't. Sometimes life is hard, hard, hard.

But if you don't keep trying, you will never succeed. You deserve success as much as anybody else. I want you to win. To do that, you must try.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do... Build, therefore, your own world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are no promises, but the world is waiting for you to go out and explore. Your dreams are your destiny, if you believe. Spread your wings and fly.

And then come back and tell us about it.

Martin Luther King is missed greatly

That old law about "an eye for an eye" leaves everyone blind.
Martin Luther King

Sometimes, the just action in response to an injury or trespass is to take no action. Will the world be a better place because of your response? If not, maybe you should temper your feelings with a little forgiveness.

The world is not perfect, but what you do in life does affect it. Are you helping it inch closer to perfection or are you driving it away? The way you answer that question will tell you what action to take.

The deal about John Neal

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with the wind.
John Neal

Kinaim names names (Well, no he doesn't, but it sounds cool.)

"Man is as strong as the circumstances require, and as weak as the circumstances allow."
Joseph Kinaim

We can rise to whatever challenge faces us. We can, and we must. Life is precious. Embrace it. Every bit of it.

Kinda Fonda Gandhi

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi

Please remember this quote when it is your turn to forgive or to be forgiven. It can be hard -- on both sides.
