Quotes about hope

Mary Cassatt

When I look at this picture, I think of the hope and love in this mother's heart for her child. I decided to focus on hope for today's Sunday Citar with Fresh Mommy.

"Hope is the dream of a soul awake." - French proverb

"Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all." - Emily Dickinson

Good quotes. Here is another one on hope:
“Hope is a response to the future which has its foundation in the promises of God. It looks at the future as time for the completion of God’s promise” (Eugene Peterson, Like Dew Your Youth, p. 72).

I think of hope as faith in God translated to calm perspective and faithful service.

Emily Dickinson really has a great way of putting feeling into words. Great quote -- and such a peaceful feeling of a picture.

I really love the Dickinson quote. It's so true that even when we consciously tell ourselves something - for me it's always about writing - I'll never measure up, i'll never succeed, but that little voice of hope says - if you keep writing you may find out that it's possible.
