The Art of Hope

Hope comes first, life follows. Hope gives power to life. Hope rouses life to continue, to expand to grow, to reach out, to go on.

Hope sees a light where there is not any. Hope lights candles in millions of despairing hearts.

Hope is the miracle medicine of the mind. It inspires the will to live. Hope is the physician’s strongest ally.

Hope never sounds retreat. Hope keeps the banners flying.

Hope revives ideals, renews dreams, revitalizes visions.

Hope scale the peak, wrestles with the impossible, achieves the highest aim.

When you reach the end of your rope, use hope to tie a knot in it- and hang on!
