hopes

» dorothy thompson:
courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

» allan k. chalmers:
the grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

» martin luther king, jr.:
if you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. (the trumpet of conscience)

» dale carnegie:
most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

» louisa may alcott:
far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. i may not reach them but i can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them.

following the sun, to find the one, who's given you the wings to fly
following the sun, the golden one, losing sense for space and time

i'm following the sun, to find the one who can feel the waves of life
can you hear the sigh of love, do you believe in it?

following the sun, just for the one, till you find the door you thought
following the sun, like everyone, just searching for a sign of hope

i'm following the sun, to find the one and look up to the sky
see the billion stars above, cause maybe on one of them you'll spend your further life.
