126 wishful thinking
стремление видеть всё таким, как хочется, а не таким, как оно есть в действительности, принятие желаемого за действительное; беспочвенные мечтания; см. тж. a wishful thinkerWhen the British attempt to intervene in Norway proved a fiasco, an elder Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, described it as "another tragedy of too little - and too late". Those last words formed the epitaph on the grave of wishful thinking in the democtacies. (R. E. Sherwood, ‘Roosevelt and Hopkins’, ch. VI) — Когда английская попытка вмешательства в военные действия в Норвегии потерпела крах, старый экс-премьер Дэвид Ллойд Джордж охарактеризовал ее как "еще одну трагедию, когда сделано слишком мало и слишком поздно". Эти слова явились надгробной надписью на могиле, где похоронены "благие намерения" демократических стран.
