Hope Quotes
They say that hope is the last thing to leave a person, and I think that’s true. We all have times when it seems like the entire universe is out to get you, and you think you will never be able to laugh again, but deep down, even if it’s not on a conscious level, you still hope that things will get better.
Here are some of my favorite quotes about hope to help you through the rough patches:
