Faith
Quotes
I Believe in Everything
“I
believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I
see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
―
C.S. Lewis
“All
the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.”
― J.M.
Barrie, Peter Pan
“I
believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths,
dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and
nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
―
John Lennon
“Faithless
is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
―
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“I
think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay
connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't
be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends
are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”

Jon Katz
“I
have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.”
―
Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia
“If
he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates
expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will
do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with
disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re
going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at
ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your
feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another
word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.”

“And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is
love.”

Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version
“God
will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.”
―
Elbert Hubbard
“Keep
Going
Your
hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going.
Tough situations build strong people in the end.”
―
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“The
function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of
the one who prays.”
―
Soren Kierkegaard
“And
still, after all this time,
The
sun never says to the earth,
"You
owe Me."
Look
what happens with
A
love like that,
It
lights the Whole Sky.”
―
Hafiz
“Never
be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
―
Corrie ten Boom
“I
am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people
often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I
don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man
who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a
great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man
who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must
make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman
or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and
kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but
let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human
teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
―
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“I
have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have
trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air
with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our
flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the
miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going,
but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”
― C.
JoyBell C.
“Do
not be afraid; our fate
Cannot
be taken from us; it is a gift.”
―
Dante Alighieri, Inferno
“Therefore,
dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you.
For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around
you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of
course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay
behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your
doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be
able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in
common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself
change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your
own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the
aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in
a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that
in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as
far as you wish without having to step outside it.”
―
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
“Faith
is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God
will do what is right.”
―
Max Lucado, He Still Moves Stones: Everyone Needs a Miracle
“You
must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of
the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
―
Mahatma Gandhi
“Sometimes
beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't always understand
them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but
sometimes it pays to just have a little faith.”
―
Lauren Kate, Torment
