hope

United States comedian (born in England) who appeared in films with Bing Crosby (1903-2003)

one of the three Christian virtues

grounds for feeling hopeful about the future

there is little or no promise that he will recover

a specific instance of feeling hopeful

it revived their hope of winning the pennant

the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled

in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope

someone (or something) on which expectations are centered

he was their best hope for a victory

intend with some possibility of fulfilment

I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening

be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes

I am still hoping that all will turn out well

expect and wish

I trust you will behave better from now on

I hope she understands that she cannot expect a raise
