5 quotes

The miserable have no other medicine
But only hope:
I've hope to live, and am prepar'd to die.

Measure for Measure (1603)

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings:
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.

Richard III (1591)

Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with that
And manage it against despairing thoughts.

Our hap is loss, our hope but sad despair.

Farewell
The hopes of court! my hopes in heaven do dwell.

Henry VIII (1613)
