Faith Quotes (62) Spiritual Sayings


Summary: Definition of an Faith. Depending on the religion, faith is belief in a god or gods or in the doctrines or teachings of the religion. Informal usage of faith can be quite broad, including trust or belief without proof, and "faith" is often used as a substitute for "hope", "trust" or "belief". Some[who?] critics of faith have argued that faith is opposed to reason. In contrast, some[who?] advocates of faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence. This is exemplified by attitudes about the future, which (by definition) has not yet occurred.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)”

To be grateful is to find blessings in everything, This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.
~ Alan Cohen

~ Anne Morrow Lindberg

~ William Wordsworth


Faith is a passionate intuition.
