    But leave---oh! leave the light of Hope behind.

    Thomas Campbell (1777 - 1844)

    Appetite, with an opinion of attaining9, is called hope; the same, without such opinion, despair.

    Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679)

    Unknown, Polish Slogan

    True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings;

    Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.

    but not another's hope.
