"Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always To be Blest." ― Alexander Pope Topic(s): Hope More From Alexander Pope "No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her." "Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel." "Health consists with temperance alone." More In Hope "About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment."― Josh Billings "You know not having my real dad around and having a step dad made me want to be a great dad. So now I have been one for 9 years. And now 3 daughters. So, that is what I am – a dad, first and foremost, before anything else. It’s just something that comes natural now."― Tim McGraw "In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death."― Thomas Wolfe
