Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realised joy could be.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Hope drives us more than achieving isolated joys.
Friedrich Nietzsche suggests that the power of hope and anticipation for what is to come is more invigorating and motivating than experiencing any individual moment of joy. This highlights the significance of having aspirations and dreams that fuel our desire to live fully, as they offer greater stimulation to our existence than fleeting pleasures.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
Watch them clamber, these swift monkeys! They clamber over one another and thus drag one another into the mud and the depth. They all want to get to the throne: that is their madness β as if happiness sat on the throne. Often, mud sits on the throne β and often the throne also on mud. Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators.

The modern believer is not suspicious enough, which is perhaps why when they try to construct arguments in their defence, the convictions are left doing all the work and reason, debilitated by neglect, weakly fails to prop them up.
