Shall love be blamed for want of faith?

“[I have] enormous faith, but it’s not attached to any one in particular religion. My mother was one thing, my father another. In Holland they were all Calvinists. That has no importance at all to me.”

Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.

God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to performs

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.

A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.

God made the country, and man made the town.

“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”

“Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.”

“Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods.”

Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit round and pluck blackberries.

No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books.

And if God choose I shall but love thee better after death.

Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God.

It is natural to believe in God when you're alone-- quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurled, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.

I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.

“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into light.”

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope.”

“Faith is a mockery if it does not teach us that we can build a more complete and beautiful world.”

“No matter how much you’ve sinned, no matter how much you’ve stumbled, no matter how much you fall, no matter how far you’ve got from God, don’t give up. You can still be redeemed. As someone says, keep the faith.”
