For love would be love of the wrong thing there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.

Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.

Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.
