Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper.

Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper.

Summary

This quote by Sir Francis Bacon suggests that hope is beneficial when we start our day, as it fills us with optimism and motivation. However, relying solely on hope as the day comes to an end can be disappointing. It highlights the idea that hope alone may not be sufficient to achieve desired outcomes or resolve problems. Instead, it implies the importance of actively working towards our goals and taking tangible actions to ensure success, rather than relying solely on hope as a passive wish.

To me, the irony of this involvement with size, as I observe

To me, the irony of this involvement with size, as I observed earlier, is the unwillingness or inability of so many Americans to identify themselves with something as vast as the United States. Bigger cars, bigger parking lots, bigger corporate structures, bigger farms, bigger drug stores, bigger supermarkets, bigger motion-picture screens. The tangible and the functional expand, while the intangible and the beautiful shrink. Left to wither is the national purpose, national educational needs, literature and theater, and our critical faculties. The national dialogue is gradually being lost in a froth of misleading self-congratulation and cliche. National needs and interests are slowly being submerged by the national preoccupation with the irrelevant.
