What are the best quotes on hope (& believe)? And why is hope so important in life?
H-O-P-E. These four letters have such an impact in life. They can be the difference between giving up and keeping going, between despair and resilience. Hope is the green light that burns all night at the end of your dock; that guides us through the darkness; that propels us forward; that keeps us humble and grounded.
Hope is as important as faith and love, it has the ability to make us feel better about our lives and selves. It gives us the drive to move forward despite what we may face in life.
But when things are at their worst — such as the moment you are laid off from your job, or you lose a loved one — it is easy to lose hope in life.
Which brings me to today…
In today's article, I've rounded up 25 most inspiring quotes on hope (and believe). These quotes are simple yet profound, and they offer a different perspective on these two essential human emotions.
As a side note, several studies have shown that hope is associated with better mental health, less anxiety and depression.

Check out this real-life example of how hope can change someone's life!
We can find hope in even the most unlikely of places — it can be found in a smile, or in the person holding the door for you, or maybe hope can be found in an airport bookstore as it happened with the famed writer Dushka Zapata. Here's what she wrote on Quora about that incident:
I remember waking up that morning and thinking "that's it. My life is over."
Getting myself out of bed and packing a bag and heading to the airport for a trip that I knew would be the worst in my life.
Glancing at the airport bookstore and spotting a magnet on the display with a quote by Louis L'Amour.
It stopped me cold.
It read:
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.
That will be the beginning."
It's now on my fridge and reminds me every day that no matter what, every breath I take is a chance to begin again.
