--BISHOP HORNE.
A religious hope does not only bear up the mind under her sufferings
but makes her rejoice in them.--ADDISON.
Hope is like the wing of an angel, soaring up to heaven, and bearing
our prayers to the throne of God.--JEREMY TAYLOR.
Hope is our life when first our life grows clear,
Hope and delight, scarce crossed by lines of fear:
Yet the day comes when fain we would not hope--
But forasmuch as we with life must cope,
Struggling with this and that--and who knows why?
Hope will not give us up to certainty,
But still must bide with us.
--WM. MORRIS.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast,
Man never is, but always to be blest.
--POPE.
A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow,
real poverty.--HUME.
True hope is based on the energy of character. A strong mind always
hopes, and has always cause to hope, because it knows the mutability
of human affairs, and how slight a circumstance may change the whole
course of events. Such a spirit, too, rests upon itself; it is not
confined to partial views or to one particular object. And if at last
all should be lost, it has saved itself.--VON KNEBEL.
Hope, like the glimmering taper's light,
Adorns and cheers the way;
And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a brighter ray.
--GOLDSMITH.
