I think as a rifle platoon and company commander your view is about 1,000 meters in front of you and you hope you can cover that ground and not have to back up and give it up again. – Oliver North
We use the word hope perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: I hope its a nice day. Hopefully, youre doing well. So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so. – Studs Terkel
