Most of all, I hope

"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts..."
-Romans 5:2-5

"We have been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope."
-President-Elect Barack Obama

"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."
-The Shawshank Redemption
