Faith Quotes

I believe the world of the spirit is in general greatly neglected and not at all served by the practice of faith as we know it, because religion isn’t individual enough Picture Quote #1

The lesson of the falling leaves the leaves believe such letting go is love such love is faith such faith is grace such grace is God I agree with the leaves Picture Quote #1

For me, there is no hope without faith. Faith is a higher good. Faith in our divinity Picture Quote #1

Everyone would like to have stronger faith. By themselves, the scriptures may not strengthen your faith, but being faithful to what they teach, does. In other words, faith cannot be separated from faithfulness Picture Quote #1

Religion hinges upon faith, politics hinges upon who can tell the most convincing lies or maybe just shout the loudest, but science hinges upon whether its conclusions resembe what actually happens Picture Quote #1

Faith is indeed intellectual; it involves an apprehension of certain things as facts; and vain is the modern effort to divorce faith from knowledge.

It was just like him, she thought; with him, a happy ending was always a foregone conclusion. But such was the power of his faith that when she was with him; she found herself believing in happy endings, too Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away Picture Quote #1

When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol Picture Quote #1

We have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way by which faith can be acquired Picture Quote #1

In the end, coming to faith remains for all a sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long been vacant Picture Quote #1

Reason is the lesser faith that steers us when we have already lost a greater one Picture Quote #1

Where both reason and experience fall short, there occurs a vacuum that can be filled by faith Picture Quote #1

Most people think, when they’re young, that they’re going to the top of their chosen world, and that the climb up is only a formality. Without that faith, I suppose, they might never start. Somewhere on the way they lift their eyes to the summit and know they aren’t going to reach it; and happiness then is looking down and enjoying the view they’ve got, not envying the one they haven’t Picture Quote #1

If you’ve lost your faith in love and music then the end won’t be long Picture Quote #1

Hope is a state of mind independent of the state of the world. If your heart’s full of hope, you can be persistent when you can’t be optimistic. You can keep the faith despite the evidence, knowing that only in so doing has the evidence any chance of changing. So while I’m not optimistic, I’m always very hopeful Picture Quote #1

... if reality is hard and flat and unjust, then it’s better to adjust to what really is than to complain that it isn’t what you wish. That was what made me lose faith... But having lost it, soon I doubted my lack of faith. There were niggling hints of meaning everywhere Picture Quote #1

I have been criticized throughout the course of my career for placing too much faith in the reliability of children’s narratives; but I have almost always found that children are a great deal more reliable in telling us what actually goes on in public school than many of the adult experts who develop policies that shape their destinies Picture Quote #1

The question the doubter does not ask is whether faith was really useless or simply not used. What would you think of a boy who gave up learning to ride a bicycle, complaining that he hurt himself because his bicycle stopped moving so he had no choice but to fall off? If he wanted to sit comfortably while remaining stationary, he should not have chosen a bicycle but a chair. Similarly faith must be put to use, or it will become useless Picture Quote #1

All communication involves faith; indeed, some linguisticians hold that the potential obstacles to acts of verbal understanding are so many and diverse that it is a minor miracle that they take place at all Picture Quote #1

Writing is really just a matter of writing a lot, writing consistently and having faith that you’ll continue to get better and better. Sometimes, people think that if they don’t display great talent and have some success right away, they won’t succeed. But writing is about struggling through and learning and finding out what it is about writing itself that you really love Picture Quote #1

A man’s weaknesses may intrude on his faith but they do not diminish it Picture Quote #1

Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated Picture Quote #1

Have faith in who you are. Believe that you will recover, and it will truly happen. And don’t judge yourself too harshly. Some things are meant to be, and you had to fall so that later you may rise and become what you are truly meant to be Picture Quote #1

An introverted, bookish child, with a mass of complexes and her head full of crazy ideals and a childish faith in the beautiful prince who was searching for and would surely find her Picture Quote #1

Do you have children? she asked. No. Why? The man answered that one had to have faith in the world to have children Picture Quote #1

It’s better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy Picture Quote #1

Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either Picture Quote #1

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety Picture Quote #1
