"When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly." "I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment." More In Hope "I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program."― George McGovern "We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord."― Michael Novak "A man of courage is also full of faith."― Marcus Tullius Cicero
