The difference between it [true hope] and merely wishful thinking is that mere wishful thinking involves laziness wherein the person neither exerts himself, nor strives [to achieve what he wishes for]. Hope, however, entails striving, exertion and beautiful reliance. The first is like the one who wishes that the earth would plant and sow it’s own seeds for him. The second is like the one who [actually] tills the soil, plants the seed and then hopes that crops will grow.
