Elizabeth Bibesco
“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out”
Vaclav Havel
“Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity...”
“Quit not certainty for hope.”
Proverb
“I believe there is greater certainty that the water and land will be saved under private ownership and I hope the county will come to see that.”
Tovey Giezentanner
“But that's still largely a hope, not a certainty.”
Bill Cheney
“He could even put himself forward for the presidency, not with any hope of winning, but with the certainty of placing a serious handicap on Nicolas Sarkozy.”
Alain Duhamel
