It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.

Although a man may wear fine clothing if he lives peacefully and is good self-possessed has faith and is pure and if he does not hurt any living being he is a holy man.

Amidst the confusion of the times the conflicts of conscience and the turmoil of daily living an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living. It is the beginning place the foundation upon which more can be built. Where trust is love can flourish.

Faith is a living daring confidence in God's grace so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

If patience is worth anything it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

Y'know the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.

But whatever my failure I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession just as my grandfathers were in theirs in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.
