"Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity." ― Robert Green Ingersoll Topic(s): Hope More From Robert Green Ingersoll "In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences." "My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so." "The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart." 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 "My deal is have a flat, simple tax. And – Americans want – Americans I hope – aspire to be – be wealthy. I hope they aspire to have a better quality of life. And we have this class warfare that’s going on now. And I don’t agree with that. I’m interested in people getting to work."― Rick Perry "We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds."― Aristotle Onassis
