Famous quotes containing the word faith:
“Miracles sometimes happen, but more often they’re made of faith and will and hope and imagination, to say nothing of sweat.”
—Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
“He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.”
—Kingsley Amis (b. 1922)
“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
