Faith Quotes

Love and faith are not common companions. More commonly power and fear consort with faith... Power is not to be crossed; one must respect and obey. Power means strength, whereas love is a human frailty the people mistrust. It is a sad fact of life that power and fear are the fountainheads of faith Picture Quote #1

The challenge for those of us who care about our faith and about a hurting world is to tell stories which will carry the words of grace and hope in their bones and sinews and not wear them like fancy dress Picture Quote #1

I feel that we should stop wasting our time trying to please the supernatural and concentrate on improving the welfare of human beings. I think that, uh, we should use our energy and our initiative to solve our problems, and stop relying on prayer and wishful thinking. If we have faith in ourselves, we won’t have to have faith in gods Picture Quote #1

This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero! Picture Quote #1

You picked a lemon, throw it away lemonade is overrated. Freaks should remain at the circus, not in your apartment. You already have one asshole. You don’t need another. Make a space in your life for the glorious things you deserve. Have faith Picture Quote #1

Belief doesn’t rest on proof or existence... it rests on faith... without faith there is nothing Picture Quote #1

The best existential analysis of the human condition leads directly into the problems of God and faith Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think it is my mission to bring faith to the faithless, and doubt to the faithful Picture Quote #1

Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same Picture Quote #1

Although the far territory of the extreme can exert an intoxicating pull on susceptible individuals of all bents, extremism seems to be especially prevalent among those inclined by temperament or upbringing toward religious pursuits. Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a crucial component of spiritual devotion. And when religious fanaticism supplants ratiocination, all bets are suddenly off Picture Quote #1

Faith is not belief in spite of evidence but a life in scorn of the consequences Picture Quote #1

Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive Picture Quote #1

I cannot believe this is the end. Nor can I believe that death is more than the blindness of those living. And if this is only the consolation of a heart in its necessity, or that easy faith born of despair, it does not matter, since it gives us courage somehow to face the mornings. Which is as much as the heart can ask at times Picture Quote #1

It was lovely to see cynicism in one so young. It positively restored his faith in human nature Picture Quote #1

Crossing the starting line may be an act of courage, but crossing the finish line is an act of faith. Faith is what kepes us going when nothing else will. Faith is the emotion that will give you victory over your past, the demons in your soul, and all of those voices that tell you what you can and cannot do and can and cannot be Picture Quote #1

I have no word of yours to assure me that our brief friendship held for you the same significance it held for me, but I must go on believing so. Every hope of the future is meaningless unless I have faith that you and I will share it together Picture Quote #1

Faith never stays put. It’s always challenging always questioning. That’s what makes it real Picture Quote #1

You can always, and easily, give somebody the gift of hope and faith, even in the midst of despair Picture Quote #1

My parents used to say faith wasn’t something you could pretend about. It wasn’t real unless it looked like faith and acted like faith Picture Quote #1

Snap judgments? I’d gotten over those about the time I was toilet trained. Swore off diapers and faith in the human experience all in one week Picture Quote #1

If we desire our faith to be strengthened, we should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried, and therefore, through trial, be strengthened Picture Quote #1

As for religious faith, a lack of it shouldn’t stop us from doing good deeds for their own sake Picture Quote #1

I discovered very quickly that criticism is a form of optimism, and that when you are silent about the shortcomings of your society, you’re very pessimistic about that society. And it’s only when you speak truthfully about it that you show your faith in that society Picture Quote #1

I have problems with a religion which says that faith in itself is enough for a ticket to heaven. In other words, that the ideal is your ability to manipulate your own common sense to accept something your intellect rejects. It’s the same model of intellectual submission that dictatorships have used throughout time, the concept of a higher reasoning without any obligation to discharge the burden of proof Picture Quote #1

I discovered that maybe it was fate all along, that faith was just an illusion that somehow you’re in control Picture Quote #1

... always keep in mind that an article of faith is not something that the faithful assume. Faith, for those who have it, is the most certain form of knowledge, not a tentative opinion Picture Quote #1

In our secular society, school has become the replacement for church, and like church it requires that its teachings must be taken on faith Picture Quote #1

There is so much to the human mind we don’t understand. But, you see, if you have faith, you can do anything Picture Quote #1

Placing the burden on the individual to break down doors in finding better education for a child is attractive to conservatives because it reaffirms their faith in individual ambition and autonomy. But to ask an individual to break down doors that we have chained and bolted in advance of his arrival is unfair Picture Quote #1
