Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Faith is the bird that feels the light
and sings when the dawn is still dark.

Rabindranath Tagore

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.... The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.

George Washington

I have great faith in fools — self-confidence my friends will call it.

Edgar Allan Poe

The highest result of education is tolerance. Long ago men fought and died for their faith; but it took ages to teach them the other kind of courage, — the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren and their rights of conscience. Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think.

There is probably no point in my going into your questions now; for what I could say about your tendency to doubt or about your inability to bring your outer and inner lives into harmony or about all the other thing that oppress you - : is just what I have already said: just the wish that you may find in yourself enough patience to endure and enough simplicity to have faith; that you may gain more and more confidence in what is difficult and in your solitude among other people. And as for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

Rainer Maria Rilke

No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.

Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.

Variant translation: But the highest passion in a human being is faith

Søren Kierkegaard

As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts

Francis Parker Yockey

Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence; faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.

Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries.

I respect faith but doubt is what gets you an education.

The belief of our Reason is an Exercise of Faith, and Faith is an Act of Reason.

Joseph Glanvill

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.

Jonathan Edwards

Life is only a long and bitter suicide, and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice.

All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and against. Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.
