I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural and it wasn't religious.

In economics hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability.

Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time for one will dispel the other.

Duty cannot exist without faith.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain you gain all if you lose you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation that He exists.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.

If there exists no possibility of failure then victory is meaningless.

The world is given to me only once not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences for this barrier does not exist.

I would vote for the man who's lived life who's done different occupations who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living struggled to raise a family struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience honest experience.

The printed page conveys information and commitment and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience - there and then gone.

No one ever pretended that shopping for anything is a rational experience. If it were would there be Fluffernutter? Laceless sneakers? Porkpie hats? Would the Chia Pet even exist?

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

Existence itself does not feel horrible it feels like an ecstasy rather which we have only to be still to experience.

Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.

There are such beings as vampires some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples.

Ends and purposes whether they exist as conscious or subconscious tendencies form the wrap and woof of our conscious experience.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean so must I never live my life for itself but always in the experience which is going on around me.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Obviously my life and my job in 2010 is very different from Peggy's experience in the 1960s. I exist in a world that enjoys more equality between men and women. But I don't take any of that into my performance. I just want to play the character as who she is as an individual - scene to scene.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn to open up to work help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It's not Islam.

Loads of chemicals and hazardous wastes have been introduced into the atmosphere that didn't even exist in 1948. The environmental condition of the planet is far worse than it was 42 years ago.

I confess that for fifteen years my efforts in education and my hopes of success in establishing a system of national education have always been associated with the idea of coupling the education of this country with the religious communities which exist.

My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.
