Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between wish, faith, pray, and hope and taking action.

It implies that simply hoping for something is not enough; one must complement hope with concrete actions to achieve desired outcomes. Failure to do so could result in devastating outcomes as hope alone does not guarantee success or positive change.
