The only force that can overcome an idea and a faith is another and better idea and faith positively and fearlessly upheld.

Faith makes all evil good to us and all good better unbelief makes all good evil and all evil worse. Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.

Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.

Learning how to relive again on life's terms sure doesn't do much for your confidence. You have to kind of walk in faith that the next step is going to be just a little bit better than the last step.

In properly organized groups no faith is required what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.

Ever since the Crusades when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith - even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity.

The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they're going to do better. That's why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. There's nobody I don't say that to.

And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.

I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
