"There’s always hope. You can lose everything else in the world, but Jews never lose hope." ― Jonathan Sacks Topic(s): Hope Tags: always, there More From Jonathan Sacks "God’s forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency." "Much can and must be done by governments, but they cannot of themselves change lives." "Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women – 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother, according to census data – is practically absurd and morally indefensible." More In Hope "You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things."― Jon Stewart "A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread."― Georges Bernanos "I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you’re going through to realize that you’re not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it’s not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery."― Sarah McLachlan
