7.14.1 "Hope, assuredly, is more than memory. When kindled by hope, verily, memory learns the sacred sayings; kindled by hope one performs righteous works, longs for sons and cattle, for this world and the yonder. Honor hope as a gift of God.

7.14.2 He who honors hope as a gift of God, through hope all his righteous desires prosper, his wishes are not unavailing. As far as hope goes, so far he has freedom, he who honors hope as a gift of God."

"Is there, Sir, more than hope?"

"There is, assuredly, more than hope."

"Do you, Sir, tell me it."
