In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs man’s torments.

I.71.Friedrich Nietzsche

Some of your hurts you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have survived,
But what torments of grief you endured
From evils which never arrived!Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.
George Bernard Shaw
The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g., some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
"You will have no credit for your virtue (if you call it such): even your best friends will not believe in it; because it is monstrous, and not to be credited but by those who suffer, from the effects of it, such cruel torments that they know it to be indeed reality."
Anne Bronte
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.-- Quoted in Forever Young(Song)as "Hoping for the best but expecting the worst"
