About This Quote
William Shakespeare once said, “Hope is the greatest gift and the greatest evil.” That is exactly what he means. Hope is the thing that will give you wings to fly. It can also be the thing that holds you back from ever reaching your dreams. Being hopeful does not mean being naïve, however.
There are times when being hopeful is a good thing. The idea of being hopeful is that you are working toward a goal that’s important to you, but that you are realistic about how close it may be to coming true. Hope gives you energy to keep pushing toward your goals in spite of how far away they may seem.
