I ask each American to work with me to usher in a new era of hope, reconciliation, and fellowship among all our people—rich and poor, young and old, and men and women of every race.

I'm very hopeful right now.

The best is yet to come.

This will pass, and it will get better, and we'll do everything we can to help.

I hope you will never forget this wall behind me, and goodness knows, I hope you never need it again.

I hope you will support it.

When Hillary and I were in Ireland... I thought to myself if there were just some way we could all live every day with that spirit, we could all believe in ourselves and our future every day with that level of feeling.

Let us bring peace to every child who deserves to be free from violence and full of hope.

I hope we all live to see the day when the only bombs in the world are 'peace bombs.'

I hope they'll remember the spirit of the season, the spirit we all feel right now.

I want to begin by telling you that I am hopeful about America.

We are living now in a world that is in transition, that is full of incredible possibilities, exhilarating hope, and troubling change.

There can be light at the end of the tunnel.

And I hope you will take the spirit and the values that brought you to the national championship with you throughout the rest of your lives.

I think the agreement signed in Geneva by the three parties is very, very hopeful.

I want you to believe that your country can work and that you can have a good future.

As awful as they are, these natural disasters have a funny way of bringing out the best in us, neighbors helping neighbors to rebuild their communities and restore hope.

We certainly hope so.
