To expect or desire something is only normal for a human being. But remember that aside from hoping for the things you want, you need to work hard and have the confidence to make them happen. Hoping without action is weak and will only become wishful thinking. May these quotes about hope in hard times help you convince that where there is hope, anything is possible. When hope is gone, everything will end there. Never give up. Your hope will keep you going.
