“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

“So why do I feel hopeful? Partly because I'm obstinate.”

“You need hope to get you going, but then by taking action, you generate more hope. It's a circular thing.”

“Hope enables us to keep going in the face of adversity. It is what we desire to happen, but we must be prepared to work hard to make it so.”
