Quotes on Hope

“Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances which we know to be desperate.” 
- G.K. Chesterton


This quote is interesting. I have defined hope as the willingness to act upon a wish and make it a reality before. But there are multiple definitions of hope. In addition to the one above, here are couple more to think about:

Dictionary.com says,
"the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give up hope"

Webster's 1828 Dictionary says ,
"Confidence in a future event; the highest degree of well founded expectation of good; as a hope founded on God's gracious promises; a scriptural sense."
