Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit." ― John Dryden Topic(s): Hope More From John Dryden "Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be." "Self-defence is Nature’s eldest law." "Dancing is the poetry of the foot." More In Hope "My sweetest hope is to lose hope."― Pierre Corneille "They do not understand Islam, and I think that is one area where perhaps I hope one day I will play a role in actually making people understand what we perceive Islam to be."― Imran Khan "I’m moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn’t clear. If people think you’re leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they’re coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I’m just moving on right now."― Regis Philbin
