FAITH QUOTES
quotations about faith
Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through self-discipline. Faith will accomplish.
BRUCE LEE
Tao of Jeet Kune Do
The magic key that unlocks the treasure house of infinite supply is FAITH in the almighty God whom Jesus called His Father--the Supreme Life-giver--and realization that nothing is impossible with God. Faith that He hears when you call, or ask for anything, and knowledge that it is His pleasure to give you the desires of your heart to make your life comfortable and happy. I have often said in my lectures all over the world that if the dear, precious souls who are in the poorhouses today had known the power of FAITH, they could be living in beautiful homes and have someone to take care of them if that was their desire. If they had asked God in their daily prayers to provide such homes. Instead of that, those same dear souls have told me they lived lives of fear that they would end their days in a poorhouse. Therefore there was no other place for them. They could not end their days in a rich-house when all the time they were visualizing a poorhouse.

Believe, my child. Faith is the food of survival.

The Witch of Cologne
Truth is the fulcrum of the lever, faith. Particular truths are so many polished stones, which faith builds into the wall of the spiritual temple.
JAMES WADDEL ALEXANDER
Faith
The law of faith, being a covenant of free grace, God alone can appoint what shall be necessarily believed by everyone whom He will justify. What is the faith which He will accept and account for righteousness, depends wholly on his good pleasure. For it is of grace, and not of right, that this faith is accepted. And therefore He alone can set the measures of it: and what he has so appointed and declared is alone necessary. Nobody can add to these fundamental articles of faith; nor make any other necessary, but what God himself hath made, and declared to be so. And what these are which God requires of those who will enter into, and receive the benefits of the new covenant, has already been shown. An explicit belief of these is absolutely required of all those to whom the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, and salvation through his name proposed.
JOHN LOCKE
The Reasonableness of Christianity
The Way to see by Faith, is to shut the Eye of Reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758
While the object of faith, or truth to be believed, remains constant or invariable, faith itself has degrees. It may be weak or strong, and the weak as well as the strong may be saving. It is the object, not the receptive instrument, which saves. If it had been anywhere said that he who believes enough shall be saved, we might be forever doubtful whether the standard had been reached. But the promise is, "He that believeth shall be saved." A feeble hand may as effectually endorse a check for a hundred thousand pounds as the hand of a giant. The entire charge of an electro-magnetic system of batteries may be drawn out by the touch of an infant.

Faith
That state of mind in which a man is impressed with invisible things is faith.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
All we have gained then by our unbelief
Is a life of doubt diversified by faith,
For one of faith diversified by doubt:
We called the chess-board white -- we call it black.
ROBERT BROWNING
Bishop Blougram's Apology
To lack faith is like a seed that has been scorched by fire: the sprouts of enlightenment don't grow.

Advice from the Lotus-born
The deepest cuts are healed by faith.
PAT BENATAR
"All Fired Up"
Faith is not merely a matter of the intellect, nor of the intellect and the emotions combined; it is also a matter of the will which determines the direction of life.
LOUIS BERKHOF
Manual of Christian Doctrine
What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross.
FLANNERY O'CONNOR
The Habit of Being
There lives more faith in honest doubt,
Believe me, than in half the creeds.
ALFRED TENNYSON
In Memoriam
A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
The Exploration of Space
To believe only possibilities is not faith, but mere Philosophy.
SIR THOMAS BROWNE
Religio Medici
A paradise of inward tranquility seems to be faith's usual result.
WILLIAM JAMES

Knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith.

To pray without faith is to make a small fire while it is raining heavily.
