Romans 8:24-25 (KJV)24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 

Proverbs 13:12 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) – The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart, but when the desire cometh, it is as a tree of life.
