John Milton on faith

Deep versed in books and shallow in himself.

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

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
