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.

Aggression becomes an easy outlet through which the child's frustrations and tensions flow, not just because of a simple matter of learning that can be just as simply unlearned, not just because he is imitating a bad behavior model and can be taught to imitate something more constructive, but because these traumatic experiences have overwhelmed him. His own emotional development is too immature to withstand the crippling inner effects of outer violence. Something happens to the child's character, to his sense of reality, to the development of his controls against impulses that may not later be changed easily but which may lead to reactions that in turn provoke more reactions - one or more of which may be criminal.
