How would you use hope springs eternal in a sentence?

Answer 1

The girl badly wanted to attend a party but it was in another town. Her dad already said no. After talking to her friends, she commented that her "hope springs eternal".

Hope springs eternal when two young people believe they are in love.

Eternal means endless, unending. Spring, in this context, means reaching or grasping for something that is desired. Hope is a heartfelt desire for the hoped-for outcome. So in the idiom, it means "hope", especially misplaced hopes and wants, can go on and on, without being fulfilled and no chance to ever become true. But Hope springs eternal, endless and unending. it is meant as a half-encouraging message to someone who has their mind set on something, but the other person knows the desire will likely never come true. It sounds better to say than bursting someone's bubble with saying the truth: That isn't ever going to happen!
