Question

"One thing is for sure: Hope never dies."
Now, should the 'h' in 'hope' be capitalized or not?
Thanks

Answer 1

I would say no if you are quoting someone.

Answer 2

I'm not quoting anyone. "Hope never dies" is my thesis statement. Knowing this, do you think I shouldn't capitalize it then?

Answer 3

Yes, you need the capital H on hope -- it's the beginning of an independent clause.
