(hope deferred maketh (или makes) the heart sick)
"надежда, долго не сбывающаяся, томит сердце" [этим. библ. Proverbs XIII, 12]

By the end of the sixty-day period set for recovery by the President and his Secretary of Commerce... production indices were going down, the stock market was taking a series of painful tumbles, and hope deferred was making the American heart sick. (F. L. Allen, ‘Only Yesterday’, ch. XIV) — Президент и его министр торговли обещали, что через два месяца в экономике начнется подъем. Однако к концу этого срока... объем производства снизился, биржа несколько раз болезненно реагировала понижением курса ценных бумаг, и несбывшиеся надежды томили сердце Америки.
