HOPE

In his Nobel lecture, Elie Wiesel said, "Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future."

Hope is the anticipation that some good will eventually arrive, and perhaps also the means by which a person can anticipate a good outcome.

Bloggers use the Internet to offer hope as well as to find hope.

Hope was a central word in the campaign of President Barack Obama.

Evangelical Christians present their beliefs in terms of hope, a key term in the New Testament.

Hope also appears in numerous album titles, including A New Hope by Minipop and Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow by Sevendust.
