Augustine of Hippo on faith

Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

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

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

J. R. R. Tolkien1892–1973The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)
