Assuming that you have in mind the *positive* expectations here, it reminds me of this famous Havel quote.
I think that faith and hope are synonyms in this context.
Discussion
This one is just a good complementary thought.
Is this the direction you're pointing out to?
Expectations - being the most probable outcome of the next event
Faith - is rather unrelated to specific individual event outcomes, and rather about strongly believing in some principals.
People use them interchangeably, which is fine in some contexts, but they can also have very different meanings.
Reminds me of this! 
I love this!
