Quotes about Hope

There's no hurt so great that love can't heal it.

As one who would rather light a candle than curse the darkness.

I'm no one important or famous, no matter. It is better to be loved by one person who knows your soul than millions who don't even know your phone number.

Life has taught me that to fly, you must first accept the possibility of falling.

It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen.

To truly live is more than taking the next breath---it's to hope and dream and love.

Soon I will sleep. What shall I dream of, my love? I will dream of you, of course. And I will dream for a place for us to be, a sanctuary where hearts will never break again. This is my dream, my heart. Never forget that there is no end to us, as there can be no end to love. Love must last forever, or why else would there be love? Until then, I will dream.

The sun will rise again. The only uncertainty is whether or not we will rise to greet it. Alan Christensen's diary

In the end, it is not by knowledge that we make our journeys but by hope and faith: hope that our walk will be worthy of our steps and faith that we are going somewhere. And only when we come to the end of our journeys do we truly understand that every step of the way we were walking on water.

There is one day that has brought me unspeakable pain, & the effects of that day continue to cover & erode my world like rust. I suspect that someday the rust will eat through the joists & posts of my life & I will topple, literally as well as figuratively.

Maybe that's why I've always thought of God less as an engineer than as an artist—one who uses our hopes, fears, and dreams, and especially our tears, to paint on the canvas of our souls, rendering something beautiful. The hardest part, I suppose, is waiting to see what He's up to.
