Alison Sweeney | Hope

One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do.

Channing Tatum | Hope

It's far too much to say that effective hoping is the only - or even the biggest - part of what it takes to succeed.

Beth Ditto | Hope

If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.

Eric Bana | Hope

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult, at best, and all but unlivable at worst, or possibly even unlivable, do you go on?

Fred Durst | Hope

I think the way IBM has embraced the open source philosophy has been quite astonishing, but gratifying. I hope they'll do very well with it.

Larry Wall | Hope

I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.

Studs Terkel | Hope

Lionel Messi | Hope
