Hope is not a feeling of certainty that everything ends well. Hope is just a feeling that life and work have a meaning.

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
