I laugh, for hope hath happy place with me;
If my bark sinks, 'tis to another sea.

Hope

More quotes by William Ellery Channing

Most joyful let the Poet be;
It is through him that all men see.

A wail in the wind is all I hear;
A voice of woe for a lover's loss.

My highway is unfeatured air,
My consorts are the sleepless stars,
And men my giant arms upbear —
My arms unstained and free from scars.

I sing New England, as she lights her fire
In every Prairie's midst; and where the bright
Enchanting stars shine pure through Southern night,
She still is there, the guardian on the tower,
To open for the world a purer hour.

Helen Keller Optimism (1903)

Always believe in your dreams, because if you don't, you'll still have hope.

Mahatma Gandhi

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
