Faiths Quotes (page 81)

Strange are the pictures of the future that mankind can thus draw with this brush of faith and these many-coloured pigments of the imagination! Strange, too, that no one of them tallies with another! H. Rider Haggard
Having faith in God did not mean sitting back and doing nothing. It meant believing you would find success if you did your best honestly and energetically. Ken Follet
Mother Teresa quote: "God does not require that we be successful only that we be..."
God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful. Mother Teresa
What I have a problem with is not so much religion or god, but faith. When you say you believe something in your heart and therefore you can act on it, you have completely justified the 9/11 bombers. You have justified Charlie Manson. If it's true for you, why isn't it true for them? Why are you different? If you say "I believe there's an all-powerful force of love in the universe that connects us all, and I have no evidence of that but I believe it in my heart," then it's perfectly okay to... Penn Jillette
Jodi Picoult quote: "And I remembered something else that makes us human: faith,..."
And I remembered something else that makes us human: faith, the only weapon in our arsenal to battle doubt. Jodi Picoult
If only it were possible to love without injury – fidelity isn’t enough: I had been faithful to Anne and yet I had injured her. The hurt is in the act of possession: we are too small in mind and body to possess another person without pride or to be possessed without humiliation. In a way I was glad that my wife had struck out at me again – I had forgotten her pain for too long, and this was the only kind of recompense I could give her. Unfortunately the innocent are always involved in any... Graham Greene
What a strange fellowship this is, the God seekers in every land, lifting their voices in the most disparate ways imaginable to the God of all life. How does it sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange ethereal harmony? Does one faith carry the lead or do the parts share in counterpoint and antiphony where not in full throated chorus? We cannot know. All we can do is to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine. Huston Smith
A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."It is a lie! Creators were they who created peoples, and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life. Destroyers, are they who lay snares for many, and call it the state: they hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them. Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, and as sin against laws... Friedrich Nietzsche
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "In the woods is perpetual youth. In the woods we return to..."
In the woods is perpetual youth. In the woods we return to faith and reason. Ralph Waldo Emerson
[...]they were the reason that he kept faith with his stars, that reinforced him in his belief that the universe had more in store for him than the mug's game of working for a modest salary until he retired or died, J. K. Rowling
There,' said Wednesday, 'is one who "does not have the faith and will not have the fun". Chesterton. Pagan indeed. So. Shall we go out onto the street, Easter my dear, and repeat the exercise? Find out how many passers-by know that their Easter festival takes its name from Eostre of the Dawn? Let's see - I have it. We shall ask a hundred people. For every one that knows the truth, you may cut off one of my fingers, and when I run out of them, toes; for every twenty who don't know you spend a... Neil Gaiman
Perhaps I fear him because I could love him again, and in loving him, I would come to need him, and in needing him, I would again be his faithful pupil in all things, only to discover that his patience for me is no substitute for the passion which long ago blazed in his eyes. Anne Rice
Wilson Mizner quote: "I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education."
I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education. Wilson Mizner
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of scepticism with faith. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "My melancholy is the most faithful sweetheart I have had."
My melancholy is the most faithful sweetheart I have had. Soren Kierkegaard
