It's a weird place to be in because my dreams in life have surpassed what I could have ever imagined. I just hope I can continue to write stand-up, but I would say my big dream is to build an amazing family. It's so boring and cheesy, but that's my focus.
— Tig Notaro
I hope my career will be long-term. It's not something I'm taking for granted, but we try to plan that way.
— Tiffany Darwish
No man made great by death offers more hope to lowly pride than does Abraham Lincoln; for while living he was himself so simple as often to be dubbed a fool.
— Thomas Vernor Smith
I hope I work effectively, but I never feel I have exhausted what I should be doing... I believe we have a responsibility to be a good influence on others.
— Thomas S. Monson
One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
— Thomas Reed
I intend to be a strong Speaker. I hope to make some imaginative changes around here.
— Thomas P. O'Neill
My friends seem to think that an hour and a half effort a day is all they need to bring to the altar to make things work for them. I couldn't do that. I thought that if you didn't work at least as hard as the guy who runs a gas station, then you had no right to hope for achievement. You certainly had to work all day, every day.
— Thomas McGuane
I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.
— Thomas Keller
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
— Thomas Jefferson
The Garden Bridge has not found its right moment, but I hope one day it will and that London continues to be open to ideas that make life here better.
— Thomas Heatherwick
I love 'Criminal Minds' and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years. I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won't be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have.
— Thomas Gibson
I think we have lost our groove as a country. One of the reasons was the attack on 9/11. We got knocked off our game. From a country that always exported hope we went into the business of exporting fear.
— Thomas Friedman
It is not only our duty to America, but also to Ireland. We could not hope to succeed in our effort to make Ireland a Republic without the moral and material support of the liberty-loving citizens of these United States.
— Thomas Francis Meagher
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
— Thomas Carlyle
Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.
— Thomas Bulfinch
Well, I've been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War, about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just think that there's no hope.
— Thom Yorke
You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
I don't ever assume that people are going to love or appreciate what I do. It would be great. I don't assume that they're not going to. I just am like, 'I'm going to do my absolute best at everything I do, and I'm going to put it out with pride and hope people enjoy it.'
It feels nice to be able to call Brainfeeder my home. It's giving art the platform. That's what Brainfeeder has always been for me: hope for art.
— Thundercat
As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking - or lack of thinking.
— Thomas Sowell
I hope with all my heart and soul that every young man who receives the priesthood will honor that priesthood and be true to the trust which is conveyed when it is conferred. May each of us who holds the priesthood of God know what he believes.
I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom. No pride in achievement.
— Thomas Peterffy
Post-production is kind of the death of hope. The money has been spent. The grand ideas are either there or they're not there. So music oftentimes has to compensate if there are issues, or it has to stay out of the way if the movie is working really well.
— Thomas Newman
Human life moves only in one direction - toward disease, damage, and death. The best you can hope for is to remain stagnant or, in certain cases, return to a previous condition when things weren't as bad as they've become for you.
— Thomas Ligotti
One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair.
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
— Thomas Hardy
I know there's a CSI game. I've never seen it, though, so I'm not really sure. I hope it's interesting. I hope that they've done a good job making it, but because I've never seen it, the jury is still out on whether it's interesting or not. But it is funny to imagine that it's been turned into a game.
Every avalanche begins with the movement of a single snowflake, and my hope is to move a snowflake.
— Thomas Frey
Especially when you've become the father of two daughters, you hope the world can be a more gentle place.
— Thomas F. Wilson
He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
My object will be, if possible, to form Christian men, for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.
— Thomas Arnold
When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair, there is no hope.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
Not 100 percent of the time, but I feel like I'm good at being direct. I know what I want, and I feel like I can tell people, 'I want this; I don't want this. I want you; I don't want you. I hope for this, and this is right, and this is wrong for me.'
Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.
— Thornton Wilder
Hope is a very thin diet.
— Thomas Shadwell
I hope that you will learn to take responsibility for your decisions. Don't take counsel of your fears.
I do hope to bring Jane Whitefield back before too long.
— Thomas Perry
Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.
— Thomas Merton
People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.
— Thomas Kinkade
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
The results of political changes are hardly ever those which their friends hope or their foes fear.
— Thomas Huxley
I played a doctor on 'Chicago Hope' 15 years or so ago, and I did go and watch an open heart surgery.
If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.
— Thomas Fuller
There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington, the place we learned to despise during the last administration.
— Thomas Frank
Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsafe friend.
— Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope; this world of his is emphatically the place of hope.
Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
— Thomas Aquinas
You practice mindfulness, on the one hand, to be calm and peaceful. On the other hand, as you practice mindfulness and live a life of peace, you inspire hope for a future of peace.
