Faith Quotes
-
Faith builds the bridge from this old world to the new.
Neil Young Buffalo Springfield -
Sometimes we want things we were not meant to have. Because he loves us, the Father says no. Faith trusts that no. Faith is willing not to have what God is not willing to give. Furthermore, faith does not insist upon an explanation. It is enough to know His promises to give what is good-he knows so much more about us than we do.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
Too often faith is used as an epistemological device to avoid the hard labor of straight thinking.
Edward John Carnell -
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone; but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther -
Trust is good, but control is better.
Vladimir Lenin -
The inner change, justification, is effected at the moment of salvation. The outer change in the believer's daily walk, sanctification, continues throughout life. But the progressive work of sanctification is only fully effective when the radical, inner transformation of justification is realized and appropriated by faith.
Neil T Anderson -
We need to make our faith our very own love story.
Bob Goff -
Tolerance grows only when faith loses certainty; certainty is murderous.
Will Durant
-
When God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Martin Luther -
In Ali change creation faith growth hope humor life living Muhammad Ali transformation wonder. If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
Muhammad Ali -
I was valuing my survival more than sharing my faith.
Craig S. Keener -
Theatre's great. It's such an act of faith. It's a wonderful art form where you suspend disbelief for a couple of hours. It's a lovely art form because the actors and the audience are alive and in the room at the same time together. That's why I love the theatre.
Israel Horovitz -
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
Walt Whitman -
The Simple Path Silence is Prayer. Prayer is Faith. Faith is Love. Love is Service. The Fruit of Service is Peace.
Mother Teresa
-
I have done much reporting in what might be termed the religious field. I have interviewed dozens of people-maybe hundreds-asking questions about their beliefs. Some impressed me more than others, but it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the gift of faith (and I think it is a gift) is the most valuable one of all. People who have it are stronger-and kinder-and more unselfish-and happier. It's as simple (and as mysterious) as that.
Arthur Gordon Webster -
I have walked this south stream when to believe in spring was an act of faith. It was spitting snow and blowing, and within two days of being May ... But as if to assert the triumph of climate over weather, one ancient willow managed a few gray pussy willows, soft and barely visible against the snow-blurred gray background.
Ann Zwinger -
Faith is contagious when we show it to one another.
Catherine Doherty -
I falter where I firmly trod, And falling with my weight of cares Upon the great world's altar-stairs That slope thro' darkness up to God, I stretch lame hands of faith, and grope, And gather dust and chaff, and call To what I feel is Lord of all, And faintly trust the larger hope.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
Hope is the mainspring of human action; faith seals our lease of immortality; and charity and love give the passport to the soul's true and lasting happiness.
Alfred Billings Street -
The true faith discovered was When painted panel, statuary, Glass-mosaic, window-glass, Amended what was told awry By some peasant gospeler.
William Butler Yeats
-
If one takes a public stand against, say, most any sin you can think of, one is considered "courageous" and a "defender of the faith." Folks will quickly applaud you and tell you how much they admire you for "taking a stand" on biblical truth. Except if you quote Matt. 5:44 and invite people to apply it in any sort of meaningful, literal way. The moment one begins to talk about loving your enemies they all of a sudden become "liberals," "extremists," or are accused of completely taking an otherwise straight forward passage "out of context.
Benjamin L. Corey -
Better risk loss of truth than chance of error--that is your faith-vetoer's exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
William James -
May you and I run in such a way to receive the prize of gold when we run the race of passionate faith.
Angela Thomas -
Faith is a passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
