When you have put all your faith in man and continue to be disappointed don't you hope there is something out of there that is not of human element?

Faith is the response to something which is calling us from the timeless part of our reality.

Well you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting people who have been disappointed so many times.

I met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people.

I was never the ingenue so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like 'Oh my God you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.

There are a lot of Christian fundamentalists there are a lot of Muslim extremists. Every religion - Mormonism - has something way on the side that's completely using the religion as some weird backbone for their twisted faith. It has nothing to do with their religion.

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws.

Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God the fallible words of men or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.

Through history people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith too.

I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So if we believe in something enough. And we have faith we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life.

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.

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.

To try to fashion something from suffering to relish our triumphs and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic.

A faith is something you die for a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.

What is faith? If you believe something because you have evidence for it or rational argument that is not faith. So faith seems to be believing something despite the absence of evidence or rational argument for it.

The other day the President said I know you've had some rough times and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused then said would you like a puppy?

And it's one thing to give people freedom and something else to deny the rights of Christians to assert their faith in order to keep Hindus from feeling upset.

I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You and keep doing what you love. Do what you love and you will find the way to get it out to the world.

It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.

I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem something America is stuck with instead of blessed with.

What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith - something which I find deeply offensive and that has been going on for a pretty long time.
