I choose to live without

hope to protect myself

from disappointment.

It's very effective!

The charm of fishing is that

it is the pursuit of what is

elusive but attainable

a perpetual series of

occasions for hope.

Sometimes I feel I hope

I am not taking advantage

of my stardom.

Let your hopes,

not your hurts,

shape your future.

Hope is the thing with

feathers that perches

in the soul

and sings

the tunes without the words

and never stops at all.

Desire is the starting

point of all achievement,

not a hope, not a wish,

but a keen pulsating desire

which transcends everything.

I hope I can be as good

of a father to my son

as my dad was to me.

We must accept finite

disappointment, but never

lose infinite hope.

The present is the ever

moving shadow that divides

yesterday from tomorrow.

In that lies hope.

Don't give up.

Don't lose hope.

Don't sell out.

Black and white are the

colors of photography.

To me they symbolize

the alternatives of

hope and despair to

which mankind is

forever subjected.

Keep all special thoughts

and memories for

lifetimes to come.

Share these keepsakes

with others to inspire

hope and build from

the past, which can

bridge to the future.

There are only two

lasting bequests we can

hope to give our children

One of these is roots,

the other, wings.

Forgiving does not

erase the bitter past.

A healed memory is

not a deleted memory.

Instead, forgiving what

we cannot forget creates

a new way to remember.

We change the memory

of our past into a

hope for our future.
