Nachman of Bratslav on faith

When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.

The man who acts humble in order to win praise is guilty of the lowest form of pride.

A poor but humble man who gives nothing to charity is preferrable to a rich but haughty man who does.

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
