Hope gets me out of bed every morning to face another day.

Hope smiles at strangers, in the hope of finding a new friend.

Hope challenges sporting champions into new arenas.

Hope is the foundation for every business plan, the centre of every negotiation, and the driving force of every charity. Hope is the basis for every human endeavour.

Hope is the mainstay of the gambler. Hope is the opiate offered by churches.

Hope makes the dog associate with humans, in hopes of a pat instead of a kick. Hope brings the alley cat out from the safety of the shadows, hoping for more than the smell of food. Hope keeps the battered wife prisoner, the hope of what could be, what should be, instead of what is.

Hope walked with people into the ghettos and concentration camps and gas chambers.

Hope that we can make a difference is what makes our world livable.

Hope is the forerunner of love.

Hope gets me out of bed every morning to face another day.
