I am immortal! I know it! I feel it! Hope floods my heart with delight! Running on air mad with life dizzy, reeling, Upward I mount, — faith is sight, life is feeling, Hope is the day-star of might!

I'm in love with hope.

Je parvins à faire s'évanouir dans mon esprit toute l'espérance humaine.

I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

I live on hope and that I think do all
Who come into this world.

One's thoughts turn towards Hope.

It is my wish to fill every moment of my time with some action of the mind which may contribute to the pleasure or the improvement of my fellow creatures.

Imagination! lifting up itself
Before the eye and progress of my Song
Like and unfather'd vapour; here that Power
In all the might of its endowments, came
Athwart me; I was lost as in a cloud,
Halted without a struggle to break through,
And now recovering to my Soul I say
I recognize they glory; in such strength
Of usurpation, in such visitings
Of awful promise, when the light of sense
Goes out in flashes that have shewn to us
The invisible world, doth Greatness make abode
There harbours whether we be young or old.
Our destiny, our nature, and our home
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope it is, hope that can never die,
Effort, and expectation, and desire,
And something evermore about to be.

I have Immortal longings in me.

That inner urge to lead was irrigated with belief and passion then and I have all along offered myself to serve my people.

The hope that somewhere, somehow, someone may have benefitted from my ideas makes me feel I have made my little contribution to humanity. In addition to that, the national and international recognition is simply great.

I have been seized by the power of a great affection.

With hope, a mind is always free.
