Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

The climate the economic situation rising birth rates none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.

I know we can't always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural - no epidural no interventions. Wish me luck.

Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.

To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Every time I took a long leave from home I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather take possession of what is my birthright my inheritance.

Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.

I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth.

Home is one's birthplace ratified by memory.
