Realize that there are not hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Norman Vincent Peale

There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown hopeless about them.

Clare Boothe Luce

Hopeless causes are the only ones worth fighting for. The fight for the taxpayer is the most hopeless of them all.

Larry Niven

Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. When faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus. A person practicing this attitude will extract undreamed-of outcomes from the most unpromising situations. Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Norman Vincent Peale

There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make.

Andy Andrews

There are two kinds of death, the death which is inevitable and common to all beings, and the death which is voluntary and particular to certain ones of them only. It is the second death which is prescribed for us in the words of the Messenger of Allah: "Die before you die." The resurrection is accomplished for him who dies this voluntary death. His affairs return to God and they are but one. He has returned to God and he sees Him through Him. As the Prophet said - on him be Grace and Peace!

Abdelkader El Djezairi

There are no hopeless positions; there are only inferior positions that can be saved. There are no drawn positions; there are only equal ones in which you can play for a win. But at the same time, don't forget that there is no such thing as a won position in which it is impossible to lose.

Grigory Sanakoev

Good is that darkening of our lives, Which only God can brighten; But better still that hopeless load, Which none but God can lighten.

Frederick William Faber

Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all... As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

It seems hopeless, hopeless. Those who eat meat [at public expense] are a mean, selfish lot, and so the country is doomed. Our only hope lies in the grass-roots folk who eat our traditional food.

Yoshida Shoin

Dear as remembered kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd On lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret; O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Not only are a voteless people a hopeless people. A non-producing people are hopeless also.

Ralph Abernathy

Only in death will we have our own names since only in death are we no longer part of the effort. In death we become heroes.

Chuck Palahniuk

Twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death

Cressida Cowell

I've always said that the artist dies twice. And the first death is the hardest which is the career death, the creative death. The physical death is an inevitability.
