Alfred, Lord Tennyson on faith

‘Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

Little flower — but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

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
