About This Quote

Hope is the great deceiver. Hope is the piper who leads us sleepy to our slaughter. These words were spoken by Marcus Tullius Cicero. When we feel hope and we think we can do something wrong and we don't, we often fall into despair and defeat and we stop trying and what's worse, we stop believing that we can do things well.

Hope is a powerful force, but it must be used wisely and with caution. Hope must take care of itself, because without hope it will lead us to our destruction
