I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family your lover your wife and at a certain point with your children.

I'm getting older now so I should think about a family but certainly not tomorrow.

Fundamentalists are panicked by the apparent disintegration of the family the disappearance of certainty and the decay of morality. Fear leads them to ask if we cannot trust the Bible what can we trust?

Our family life was certainly not intellectual.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.

To a certain extent I am taking a leap of faith. I'm adding up the evidence on either side and I'm seeing the evidence of there not being a God is overwhelming compared to the evidence for there being a God.

The Constitution was the expression not only of a political faith but also of political fears. It was wrought both as the organ of the national interest and as the bulwark of certain individual and local rights.

When the truth is that there would be no great Western music and certainly no decent choral repertoire without the Catholic faith.

Faith is an act of rational choice which determines us to act as if certain things were true and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

It's important to ask candidates about their beliefs in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith - often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief.

Once you're successful with a certain kind of music it's hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful.

I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.

The best thing about science is that hard empirical answers are always there if you look hard enough. The best thing about religion is that the very absence of that certainty is what requires - and gives rise to - deep feelings of faith.

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.

I'm a scientist not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. Revere and respect Gaia. Have trust in Gaia. But not faith.

I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane we must also be certain that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread.

When prayer removes distrust and doubt and enters the field of mental certainty it becomes faith and the universe is built on faith.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not but not the contrary of what they see it is above not against them.

In other words a person who is fanatic in matters of religion and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

Faith is a living daring confidence in God's grace so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

All who call on God in true faith earnestly from the heart will certainly be heard and will receive what they have asked and desired.

Our nation's Social Security Trust Fund is depleting at an alarming rate and failure to implement immediate reforms endangers the ability of Americans to plan for their retirement with the options and certainty they deserve.

I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.
