Anton Chekhov on faith

Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.

A man who doesn’t drink is not, in my opinion, fully a man.

When an actor has money, he doesn’t send letters but telegrams.

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
