About This Quote
William Shakespeare said: “You don't dare think whole even to yourself the entirety of a dear hope or wish let alone a desperate one else you yourself have doomed it.” In this quote, he captures the essence of hope in all its form. Hope is something that should be cherished and kept tucked away in your heart where no one else can see it. It is something that you cannot tell everyone about because it could be easily ruined if they found out its true nature. You need to keep it to yourself or you might find yourself getting disappointed.
When people say, “I have a dream,” they are often referring to aspirations that are out of reach, not real dreams. The dream is simply not achievable. To them the dream has not died but merely been put on hold until they can figure out how to make it happen.
Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon way of thinking and many people live with the mindset that things will never work out for them so they must give up and settle for less than their true goal.
