Hope springs eternal
People always hope for the best, even in the face of adversity. This saying is from “An Essay on Man,” by Alexander Pope.
People will keep on hoping, no matter what the odds. For example, I keep buying lottery tickets—hope springs eternal. This expression was coined by Alexander Pope (An Essay on Man, 1732) and quickly became proverbial.
