Hope is a four letter word.
Four letter words have a rep of being nasty and bad; hope is the antithesis of those qualities as well as being a four letter word.
In essence, i think it means the same kinda thing as It's always darkest before the dawn and Every cloud has a silver lining.
How the mighty are fallen.

Violent upheavel - revolution - often costs the lives of the idealists who fostered the change to begin with.

The only meaning to be derived here is that the speaker doesn't understand the subject well enough TO teach it.

Once in a blue moon
A blue moon is a rare thing so something that happens once in that same time period would also be rare or uncommon.
Don't piss in the wind.

Don't piss in the wind - good practical advice for not getting piss in your face. The deeper meaning is that you can't fight the forces of nature, so you may as well go along with them to save yourself trouble.
Don't throw good money after bad.
Drown how exactly? Just by having wet feathers?

Chicken feathers unlike those of other birds aren't water-repellant, thus if it gets wet it gets heavy and can't move to get out of the rain and have been known to drown in a rainstorm.

Beyond the pale
Outside the safe and acceptable.
The saying originated with the English conquest of Ireland. The English controlled the area immediately around Dublin which was known as the "pale". To travel outside this area was considered dangerous and foolhardy because it took you beyond protection of the English and exposed you to the "wild" and "savage" Irish.
Bend with the wind.
