Hope as an anchor

Today, at the bibly study session on Hope:

Giulia from Italy: "In Italian hope means speranza." The answer of Nikola from Albania: "In Albanian hope is sprese. But we also have speranza, which means anchor."

I think, this was really interesting. Languages and their words really can be full of meanings, symbols and ideas. Here, the anchor is a great symbol of hope. Even if there is a situation without any way out of it - hope is the anchor, which you have in the storms of life.
