all thy words and actions; but those

be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it.
But all science, in fact, rests on a basis
of faith, for it assumes the permanence
and uniformity of natural laws - a thing
which can never be demonstrated.

It is faith among men that holds
the moral elements of society
together, as it is faith in God that
binds the world to his throne.

seed sown will be the harvest.

You can't see it, but
you can see the light.
?Anonymous
Every tomorrow has two handles.
We can take hold of it by the handle
of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.

The honest man must be a perpetual
renegade, the life of an honest man a
perpetual infidelity. For the man who
wishes to remain faithful must take himself
perpetually unfaithful to all the continual,
successive, indefatigable, renascent errors.

ones who have faith in the money
producing power of ideas.

By whose rules am I acting; in

have there been in all my actions?

In my soul rages a battle without victor.
Between faith without proof
and reason without charm.
