Some Thoughts on Hope

'What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life.' -- Emil Brunner

'Men and women are limited not by the place of their birth, not by the color of their skin, but by the size of their hope.' -- John Johnson

'Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.' -- Pope John XXIII

'Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves. Perhaps, then, if we listen attentively we shall hear amid the uproar of empires and nations a faint flutter of wings, the gentle stirring of life and hope.' -- Albert Camus

Hmmm, Pope John XXIII and Albert Camus quoted on the same page...you don't see that very often!! Good quotes though; I like them....
