The most successful achievers in sports are people that are really driven and have that spirit of hunger.

My design process never starts or finishes. I am always hoping to find something through the mere act of living my daily life. I do not work from a desk and do not have an exact starting point for any collection.

If you have total freedom to design, you won't get anything interesting. So I give myself restraints in order to kind of push myself through, to create something new. It's the torture that I give myself, the pain and the struggle that I go through.

To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.

Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.

Iranian filmmakers are not passive. They fight whenever they can, as creative expression means a lot to them. The restrictions and censorship in Iran are a bit like the British weather: one day it's sunny, the next day it's raining. You just have to hope you walk out into the sunshine.

I hope people remember me for the kind of person that I am, not because of what I do.

I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I hope we can just win the whole thing and I can run off into the sunset and say good-bye.

In my whole career, I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

I choose to live without hope to protect myself from disappointment. It's very effective!

September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.

There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

The thing that most attracts me to historical fiction is taking the factual record as far as it is known, using that as scaffolding, and then letting imagination build the structure that fills in those things we can never find out for sure.

We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.

We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory. But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit.

There has to be this pioneer, the individual who has the courage, the ambition to overcome the obstacles that always develop when one tries to do something worthwhile, especially when it is new and different.

The message of Jesus is summed up partly in the Sermon on the Mount, and partly when he begins his ministry and quotes the passage from Isaiah: 'I have come to set free the prisoners and restore sight to the blind.'

Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

I love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot.

Americans are gathering the courage to just say no. We are saying no to addictive consumer lifestyles. We are saying no to wars and corporate takeover and the IMF loans that gobble up people and their resources.

My main trick is to work with amazing people. It's a long and twisty journey, and you need people that really are amazing and have this rare gift of honesty and courage and really open up.

Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.

I like Beryl Bainbridge a great deal, and she is a writer who absolutely demands to be read a second, third, and fourth time. I admire her great courage in leaving so much unsaid and asking the reader to really engage her brain.

I actually learned that you should never give up, and if you love something, take courage and absolutely go after it.

I regained my courage because of the fans who showed their support, asking me to keep singing.

When my lips are dry, I can't smile, I can't talk - it's debilitating!

Candidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works. The very promise of Hope and Change was rooted in uprooting the Washington modus operandi. But instead of rejecting it, he embraced it all - the secrecy, the closed doors, the political favors, the near-criminal negligence.

Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.

I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me.

Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime.

I've been at this for a while, and to a very real extent, you look at cover art with the same sort of expectation you have for playing slot machines in Vegas. That is to say, you hope to break even and promise yourself not to flinch when all you get is the same sort of mix of fruit that you get in a cup of generic fruit cocktail.

Why do people play the lottery, or why do people gamble, period? You know, it's with the hope of winning something more.

Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage.

I believe the biggest challenge is just getting the courage to try something different or new. Try to forget the stereotype in your mind. Yoga is for everyone - children, athletes, moms, dads, accountants, truck drivers, even country stars.
