Harry Emerson Fosdick on faith

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determine the end.

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
