Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.

My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs - in other words, offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence.

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

I hope someday we will be able to proclaim that we have banished hunger in the United States, and that we've been able to bring nutrition and health to the whole world.

I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.

The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.

My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.

I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one's self.

Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.

I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab people's attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope 'The Woods' does that.
