Linus: I guess it’s wrong always to be worrying about tomorrow. Maybe we
should think only about today.
Charlie Brown: No, that’s giving up. I’m still hoping that yesterday
will get better.

All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; all
spiritual pleasures, more in fruition than in expectation. Owen Feltham

The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with
an expectation that they can make it work or make it better.
Barbara Pelcher

The future is as bright as the promises of God.
Adoniram Judson, pioneer missionary to Burma who faced imprisonment and
many other trials taking the good news to Burma.

Where there is no hope, there can be no endeavour. Samuel Johnson

Expect great thing from God. Attempt great things for God. W Carey

It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul Richter

I rejoice in the hope of that glory to be revealed, for it is no
uncertain glory that we look for. Our hope is not hung upon such an
untwisted thread as, “I imagine so,” or “It is likely,” but the cable,
the strong tow of our fastened anchor, is the oath and promise of Him
who is eternal verity. Our salvation is fastened with God’s own hand,
and with Christ’s own strength, to the strong stake of God’s
unchangeable nature. Samuel Rutherford, Letter to William Gordon

Hope springs eternal in the human breast:
Man never is, but always to be blest.
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Alexander Pope. 1688-1744. Essay on Man. Epistle i.Line 95.

He that lives in hope danceth without musick. George Herbert

Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope
and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.
B.H. Liddell Hart

For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
G.K. Chesterton The Rolling English Road

If you don’t go far enough back in memory or far enough ahead in
hope,your future will be impoverished.
Art Linkletter (1912-____) From an internet collection of quotations
