Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.
Christopher Hitchens
Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.
Alfred Tennyson
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.
Mason Cooley
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain, - the impalpable principle of light and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came it will return; perhaps again to be communicated to some being higher than man - perhaps to pass through gradations of glory, from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph! Surely it will never, on the contrary, be suffered to degenerate from man to fiend?No; I cannot believe that: I hold another creed: which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention; but in which I delight, and to which I cling: for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end.
Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre, ch.
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith.
Vaclav Hlavaty
If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?
Graham Greene
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.
Martin Luther
The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family's future.
Jackie Kennedy
It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The greatest act of faith is when a man understands he is not God.
