"Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief." ― Franz Schubert Topic(s): Hope More From Franz Schubert "You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves." "I try to decorate my imagination as much as I can." "Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife." More In Hope "The United States is the world’s best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence."― Henry Cabot Lodge "I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant."― John F. Kennedy "We are all ill: but even a universal sickness implies an idea of health."― Lionel Trilling
