Summary

This quote cautions against relying too heavily on hope alone. It suggests that hope can be deceiving and cause us to disregard or ignore sound judgment. While hope can motivate and inspire us to envision positive outcomes, it is important to temper it with rational thinking and good judgment. By doing so, we can achieve a balance between optimism and realism, making more informed decisions and avoiding potential pitfalls that blind hope might lead us into.
