Famous quotes containing the word hope:

    “She’s somebody’s mother, boys, you know,
    For all she’s aged and poor and slow,

    “And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
    To help my mother, you understand,

    “If ever she’s poor and old and gray,
    When her own dear boy is far away.”
    Mary Dow Brine (1816–1913)
