Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have."― Ed Bradley Topic(s): HopeMore From Ed Bradley"My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job.""And I realized that there was no sports reporter, so I started covering sporting events.""The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out, I had the rent for the month."More In Hope"I don’t feel a lack of hope. It’s just disappointment that after all these years we’re still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people."― Geezer Butler"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."― Arthur Miller"Good news doesn’t necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one’s fellow man."― Patti Smith
