As Emily Dickinson once said - hope is the thing with feathers. A strong-willed bird that lives inside every one of us. It doesn’t cease its song no matter gales or storms, good times or bad. Without a thread of hope, everything would be lost, as hope is the foundation of the human condition. What would happen to us without it? While sure as the day, the world is full of peril, the light will always find its way through the cracks! And if you feel low on your resources of hope, these inspiring quotes might be just the thing you need.
These hope quotes come from only the most talented and world-renowned writers, historical figures, and philosophers. At various stages of their life, many of them had only hope to get them through, so their words aren’t just theoretical but rather motivating quotes that come from real experience. A tried and tested way to help you find that grain of goodness! Especially now, when all humanity seems to be losing it faster and faster. And while you might think that these intelligent quotes are just words, remember that a pen is mightier than a sword, and precisely with words, all the good changes happen.
