Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights.

And most men, good or bad, have limits to what they would do, even for someone they love. I have none. No God, no moral code, no faith in anything. Except you. You're my religion.

My true religion, my faith in God. He gives me love and compassion. I simply return them by loving and being compassionate towards others. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple of God.

Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose; also the first announcement of death. - Peter Conrad I mean this is the kind of love people dream about, poets write sonnets for, and well it's the kind of love that keeps people from losing faith in humanity and encourages people to believe that true love still exists and it's still powerful and still wonderful. (Quote from a reviewer of Loving Lily Lavender) - Deanna Kinney Losing faith is a complicated business and takes time. There are no epiphanies, no "moments of truth." It takes much thought and concentration in the later phases, which thenselves come about through an accumulation of small accidents: examples of general injustice, misfortune falling upon the godly, prayers of one's own unanswered. - Thomas Pynchon There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing fai...

If faith were rational, it wouldn't be - by definition - faith. Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be...a prudent insurance policy. - Elizabeth Gilbert Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy. - Elizabeth Gilbert When I started this project, I was a young architect.

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself. - Muhammad Ali Sometimes doubting is not a lack of faith, but an expression of it.

A whole lot of us believers, of all different religions, are ready to turn back the tide of madness by walking together, in both the dark and the light - in other words, through life - registering voters as we go, and keeping the faith. - Anne Lamott These really are our days, and we can prevail and overcome, even in the midst of trends that are very disturbing.

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct. - Paula Abdul Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart? - Jodi Picoult Pactum serva" - "Keep the faith - Horace I meet a third man he's an old man he trips in the street he falls and I help him up, walk him to the curb.

I have faith in faith. God is there, whether we have faith or not, so why not have faith in him? - Valerie Bertinelli I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell. - Nicholas Sparks God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK. - Chubby Checker NINA:...what's important is...the ability to endure. To be able to bear one's cross and have faith.
