Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
Expectations are an evil thing.
Hope is a moral choice.
I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.
Hope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.
For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends.
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
Hope is the denial of reality.
