I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it’s not faith, right?
Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.
Why is Love more important than Faith? Because Faith is merely the road that leads us to the Greater Love.[Por que o Amor é mais importante que a Fé? Porque a Fé é apenas uma estrada que nos conduz ao Amor Maior.]
To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
To have faith in the possibility of love as a social and not only exceptional-individual phenomenon, is a rational faith based on the insight into the very nature of man.
Postulates are based on assumption and adhered to by faith. Nothing in the Universe can shake them.
Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.
To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning. It is a very serious task, young man, and possibly a tragic one.
To have faith is precisely to lose one’s mind so as to win God.
Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical.
The older I grow and the more I abandon myself to God’s will, the less I value intelligence that wants to know and will that wants to do; and as the only element of salvation I recognize faith, which can wait patiently, without asking too many questions.
The man whom philosophy leaves cold, and the man whom real faith does not illuminate, may be assured that the fault lies in them, not in knowledge and faith. The former is still an alien to philosophy, the latter an alien to faith.
