FAITH receives more than it asks. DOUBT loses more than it disbelieved.
I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith.
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
My friends: let us have faith in each other. Let us not grow weary.
When I was younger, I thought that the key to success was just hard work. But the real foundation is faith. Faith - the idea that 'I can do it' - is the opposite of fear ('What if I fail?'). And faith creates motivation which in turn leads to commitment, hard work, preparation. . . and eventually success.
The Gita is not for those who have no faith.
The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith.
Whatever we do, we must keep God in the forefront. Let us be Christian in all of our actions. But I want to tell you this evening that it is not enough for us to talk about love, love is one of the pivotal points of the Christian face, faith. There is another side called justice. And justice is really love in calculation. Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love.
I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue.
A garden really lives only insofar as it is an expression of faith, the embodiment of a hope and a song of praise.
A man will not roll in the snow for a stream of tendency by which all things fulfill the law of their being. He will not go without food in the name of something, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness. He will do things like this, or pretty nearly like this, under quite a different impulse. He will do these things when he is in love.
Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It's almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed.
What I need is to believe in myself again— for my faith has been greatly undermined; it seems to me my role is over.
I like the pluralism of modernity; it doesn't threaten me or my faith. And if one's faith is dependent on being reinforced in every aspect of other people's lives, then it is a rather insecure faith, don't you think?
. . . when we are going through the aftereffects of a bad jolt in loss of money or pride--and both are closely connected--we should get off to ourselves, make an honest appraisal of our shortcomings, and try to find our weak spots and bolster them up before starting in again. First on the program we should figure out a plan to eat. The money we have lost is a small matter; if we can keep our pride and strong faith in ourselves the battle ahead is half won before we start.
I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me; I see Him all around me.
The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith.
This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness
The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians, knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.
