E. M. Forster on faith

A humanist has four leading characteristics — curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race.

Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wants to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time.

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
