Be wary of the deceit of hopes, for many a person has hoped for a day that never came and built a house that he never occupied and amassed wealth that he never used, and it may be that he amassed it unlawfully by depriving others of their rights, thereby acquiring what is forbidden and carrying the burden of sin.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

No one lengthens his hopes except that he forgets death and performs evil actions.
