BARACK OBAMA

"When you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on".

"To live without hope is to cease to live".

"Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today."

"I think it’s a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one’s self".

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important things is not to stop questioning".

"Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future".

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope".

"You are not here merely to make a living, you are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."

"Hope itself is like a star — not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity".

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence".

"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality."

"When you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you’ll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you".

"Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering ‘it will be happier’…"

"In joined hands there is still some token of hope, in the clinched fist none".

"Hope is a waking dream".

"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for".

"I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday".
