Mr. Speaker I am deeply concerned that many regions of this world are suffering from the effects of armed conflicts with religious aspects. I believe that the differences of faith are not the real reason for these conflicts.

For more than three thousand years men have quarreled concerning the formulas of their faith.

As a Christian there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.

People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.

For my future I have no concern and as a true philosopher I never would have any for I know not what it may be: as a Christian on the other hand faith must believe without discussion and the stronger it is the more it keeps silent.

My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.

Faith is the state of being ultimately concerned.

Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

The success and the failure are not my concern but His.
