Hopes Quotes
-
Let us have wine and woman, mirth and laughter, Sermons and soda water the day after.

We can do our part to save the world's environment. We can restore our good name in the world.

Love must kiss that mortal's eyesWho hopes to see fair Arcady.No gold can buy you entrance there;But beggared Love may go all bare-No wisdom won with weariness;But Love goes in with Folly's dress-No fame that wit could ever win;But only Love may lead Love in.
