Man can live 40 days without food, three days without water, eight minutes without air, but only one second without hope.

When the world around you gets tough like they often do, hope is what we hang on to. Here are top inspiring quotes to help you stay motivated in trying times.

• They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.― Tom Bodett.
• Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.– Helen Keller
• We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. – Martin Luther King 

Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals.… You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. – General Douglas MacArthur
