The Hope
Into the world came a new feeling,
through the world goes a powerful call;
by means of wings of a gentle wind
now let it fly from place to place.
Not to the sword thirsting for blood
does it draw the human family:
to the world eternally fighting
it promises sacred harmony.
Under the sacred sign of the hope
the peaceful fighters gather,
and this affair quickly grows
by the labours of those who hope.
The walls of millennia stand firm
between the divided peoples;
but the stubborn barriers will jump apart,
knocked apart by the sacred love.
On a neutral language basis,
understanding one another,
the peoples will make in agreement
one great family circle.
Our diligent set of colleagues
in peaceful labor will never tire,
until the beautiful dream of humanity
for eternal blessing is realized.

Famous quotes containing the word hope:
“I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“Not without hope we suffer and we mourn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
