The Song of Hope

Hope itself is happiness.
We are all animated by hope.
Great hope makes great people.
Hope is grief's best music.
Hope ever tells us tomorrow is better.
Hope never leaves a wretched person that seeks it.
Where no hope is left, is left no fear.
If it were not for hope the heart would break.
While I breathe, I hope.

Hope keeps the heart from breaking.
If hoping does you any good, hope on.
There is fear in every hope,
And hope in every fear.
Hope, that paints the future fair.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast.
More pleasure in hope than in fulfilment.
In the land of hope there is never any winter.
We are saved by hope.
