In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love... - Robert Green Ingersoll

"The man who has really won the love of one good woman in this world, I do not care if he dies in the ditch a beggar - his life has been a success."

"Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers."

"Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity."

"What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man."
