One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise than he was 6000 years ago.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges and I believed in myself.

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race we kept them free we kept the faith.

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

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.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions not sins. Like all afflictions they are if we can so take them our share in the passion of Christ.
