"Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope"
- Arnold H. Glasow
About this Quote
This quote by Arnold H. Glasow speaks with the concept that people often expect something without putting in the effort to make it take place. It recommends that individuals frequently have impractical expectations and are willing to take a chance on something without putting in the work. This is a dangerous mindset to have, as it can result in frustration and aggravation when the preferred outcome is not attained. It is very important to keep in mind that nothing in life is complimentary and that effort and dedication are often necessary to accomplish success. This quote functions as a suggestion to be reasonable and to put in the effort to make our dreams a truth.
"Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die"
"Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail, striving and faith the only strength it knows"
