Richard Francis Burton on faith

Reason is Life’s sole arbiter, the magic Laby’rinth’s single clue:
Worlds lie above, beyond its ken; what crosses it can ne’er be true.

Travellers like poets are mostly an angry race.

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.

Faith … is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963Mere Christianity, Book III, Chapter 11 “Faith” (1952)

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

Augustine of Hippo354–430Sermones 4.1.1
