Patience is the art of hoping. [ Vauvenargues ]

Lend, hoping for nothing again. [ Bible ]

Gird your hearts with silent fortitude,
Suffering, yet hoping all things. [ Mrs. Hemans ]

Let love prevail!
The love that envies not, that thinks no ill,
That faileth not, but ever lives.
All things believing, hoping, bearing still. [ Horatius Bonar ]

Those that much covet are with gain so fond,
That what they have not, that which they possess,
They scatter and unloose it from their bond.
And so, by hoping more, they have but less. [ William Shakespeare ]

Ah! perhaps while we are hoping, mischief has already overtaken us. [ Friedrich Schiller ]
