Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest; and despair most sits.

William Shakespeare

1564-1616 was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 37 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

    souvent, les attentes échouent et la plupart des promesses ont été faites; et souvent il frappe là où l’espoir est le plus froid; et le plus désespéré est assis.

    अक्सर अपेक्षा विफल हो जाती है, और अधिकतर जहां यह सबसे अधिक वादा करता है; और अक्सर वहीं टकराता है जहां उम्मीद सबसे ठंडी होती है; और निराशा सबसे अधिक बैठती है।

    ekspektasi sering gagal, dan seringkali di tempat yang paling dijanjikan; dan sering kali menghantam tempat harapan paling dingin; dan keputusasaan kebanyakan duduk.

    spesso le aspettative falliscono, e molte volte dove la maggior parte promette; e spesso colpisce dove la speranza è più fredda; e la disperazione la maggior parte si siede.

    대부분의 기대는 실패하고 대부분은 약속하는 곳에서 실패합니다. 그리고 종종 희망이 가장 차가운 곳에 부딪칩니다. 절망은 대부분 앉는다.

    часто ожидания не оправдываются, и чаще всего там, где большинство обещает; и часто оно попадает туда, где надежда самая холодная; и отчаяние большинство сидит.
