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.
