Hope

In order to promote hope on planet Earth I recommend that the word ?hoper? should be applied to individuals who hope. A very advanced science of hope should be developed by hopers. Individuals in history who were ?great hopers? should be singled out, admired and honored. It seems that so far humanity has underestimated the importance of hope, has never taken the pain of studying it thoroughly and making it an important tool and science of our further evolution. World Universities of Hope should be created - Robert Muller

I have this deep sense that there probably is a meaning to life and there probably is a God. But it?s not a big thing. It?s not as important as being a good person and a humanist ? Bjorn Lomborg, http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books…

Humanity must never lose hope. Our present conflicts and differences are difficult but not hopeless. We cannot expect people of such different races, cultures, languages, ways of life and beliefs, who have lived for thousands of years separated from each other to suddenly love each other and work together harmoniously. It takes time and patience. We must work on it stubbornly and not throw in the towel - Robert Muller

Hope is a vigorous principle.... it sets the head and heart to work, and animates a man to do his upmost - Jeremy Collier

Grant me the courage not to give up, even though I think it is hopeless - Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

For many years on this Earth I have not found a theory, a science, a literature, an art, a methodology, a book of recipes of hope. I hope that the Centre for a Science of Hope will fill that gap - Robert Muller

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree - Martin Luther King Jr.
