Nothing worth doing
is completed in our lifetime, Therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing true or
beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; Therefore,
we are saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the
standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own; Therefore, we are saved by the
final form of love which is forgiveness.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr

Hope is the bedrock of this

who have courage to remake the world as it should
be. -- Barack
Obama

sense of hope and vision for the future. -- Barack
Obama

seems so out of control and the people you've elected are bogus and there's so

to try to put out a hand. "

Sarandon |

To
be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic.
It is based on the fact that human history is a history
not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice,
courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in
this complex history will determine our lives. If
we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to
do something. If we remember those times and places
-- and there are so many -- where people have behaved
magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and
at least the possibility of sending this spinning
top of a world in a different direction. And if we
do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait
for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite
succession of presents, and to live now as we think
human beings should live, in defiance of all that
is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
-- Howard
Zinn
