Hope is like a road in the country there was never a road but when many people walk on it the road comes into existence.

I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak there's hope out there.

When you put something out there into the world there's all these words you don't want to hear that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro reinvent recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying emulating.

I hope there are some audiophiles still out there.

I don't think I'm a great songwriter but I think I've learned a lot about it and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.

Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.

There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington the place we learned to despise during the last administration.

I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won't be lost.

The Middle East is hopeful. There's hope there.

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished my piece of land will be a beautiful garden so there is a lot of work.

There will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.

On the other hand I believe there's hope because the breakdown and the repair are happening simultaneously.

When it comes down to it it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us and that's why people come back I hope.

I think what coaching is all about is taking players and analyzing there ability put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.

If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time there is no hope of ever solving them.

I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.

I certainly notice the vitality in Belfast which wasn't there in the Seventies. There was a war going on then. Now there are cranes everywhere. There really is a sense of renewal and hope.

And if there's any hope for America it lies in a revolution and if there's any hope for a revolution in America it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.

And as far as false hope there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.

One thing I can't do and I hope that there are other people out there that feel the same way is climb a rope. Oh my gosh it's so hard to climb rope! It's all about grip and arms.

The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context but there's not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didn't necessarily sign up for this.

'Peace Train' is a song I wrote the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?
