The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
Faith culture structure and guidance are good things.
A large psychic void is left by a loss of faith. So many Catholics have tried so many things to replace it.
I'm a believer in belief. Faith is something that works - it causes people to do things it has results. It's an intangible indefinable very real thing. And it moves people sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.
Doing films in Latin America is like an act of faith. I mean you really have to believe in what you're doing because if not you feel like it's a waste of time because you might as well be doing something that at least pays you the rent.
You work on things and you have such faith in them while you're making them that everything feels special - in a way.
I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn't have children it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong you still need people who would support you all the way.
My faith means everything to me. God and I talk constantly.
All of my children are ideologically and politically in sync with me they all have authentic Christian faith. It's something I'm very grateful for.
'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.
My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.
I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that it makes no sense for me to be out there and on top of that I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.
Without faith nothing is possible. With it nothing is impossible.
I have a disproportionate amount of faith in the goodness of the world and that everything will actually work out okay.
It's a very different thing religion and faith. Religion is man-made it's man-regulated. And faith you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
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.
The future of Conservatism lies in our beliefs and values not by throwing them away. We need to shed associations that bind us to past failures but hold faith with those things that make us Conservatives.
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist you feel like you have more control over the situation and that you can change your karma.
Everything I am I owe to my faith and secondly to parents who were old school.
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.
While we remain a nation decisively shaped by religious faith our politics and our culture are in the main less influenced by movements and arguments of an explicitly Christian character than they were even five years ago. I think this is a good thing - good for our political culture.
I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.
Individual responsibility hard work paying attention in school faith family all these things are important.
Religious faith depends on a host of social psychological and emotional factors that have little or nothing to do with probabilities evidence and logic.
