I don't have any control over what other people do, and they don't represent me or my faith.
Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.
Faith is not complacent; faith is action. You don’t have faith and wait. When you have faith, you move.
I don't think that faith, whatever you're being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don't want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There's so much mystery. There's so much awe.
True faith is ever connected with hope.
I was raised to believe in hard work, in faith and family. . . . The most important job I'll ever have is spelled D-A-D.
No one has ever laughed at a pun who did not see in the one word a twofold meaning. To materialists this world is opaque like a curtain; nothing can be seen through it. A mountain is just a mountain, a sunset just a sunset; but to poets, artists, and saints, the world is transparent like a window pane - it tells of something beyond. . . . a mountain tells of the Power of God, the sunset of His Beauty, and the snowflake of His Purity.
Straight away, remove yourself from the field of spiritual progression , stay away from contemplation and skillful discourse, do not do research or meditate on the divinities, and stop concentrating and reciting textbooks! Tell me, what is the absolute nature of reality which allows no room for doubt? Listen carefully! Stop holding on to this or that, inhabit your true absolute nature, and peacefully enjoy the essence of what it is to be alive!
That we have but little faith is not sad, but that we have little faithfulness. By faithfulness faith is earned.
Mere administration can no longer be enough. Throughout the world, let us be permanently in a state of mission.
Faith is primarily a process of identification; the process by which the individual ceases to be himself and becomes part of something eternal.
The great paradox is that our lack of faith in love and miracles is what blocks us from receiving love and miracles.
Faith is that quality or power by which the things desired become the things possessed.
And any declaration of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a false declaration. It is faith alone that justifies. But faith that justifies can never be alone.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
No matter what you’re going through there's no pit so deep that God can’t reach in and get you out.
The rate of change is global now. I think there's a kind of mind that is so ill at ease with that transformation that it reaches out for something permanent. And religious faith offers that, from simplicities, which you are told are eternal and unchanging, and you can hold on to those like a life raft in a metamorphosing world.
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
Faith is what? Faith is to love something you have no idea about.
You're doing it again. Using reason to argue faith. Can't be done. Like playing croquet with a crochet hook. Sounds something like the right tool for the job, but isn't.
