As a Christian there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.

I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary.

There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn't believe in me. I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder.

In my career as an actor there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.

Remember the sufferings of Christ the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort no one ever wins the crown.

I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that it makes no sense for me to be out there and on top of that I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.

People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.

There's a loss of faith in the banking system that for so long has been the backbone of prosperity and growth.

If you have abandoned one faith do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?

The best thing about science is that hard empirical answers are always there if you look hard enough. The best thing about religion is that the very absence of that certainty is what requires - and gives rise to - deep feelings of faith.

Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in government if there are two Americas in which the private sector's work subsidizes the disproportionate benefits of this new public sector elite.

There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.

Laughter kills fear and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.

I'm a scientist not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. Revere and respect Gaia. Have trust in Gaia. But not faith.

Religious belief like history itself is a story that is always unfolding always subject to inquiry and ripe for questioning. For without doubt there is no faith.

The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they're going to do better. That's why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. There's nobody I don't say that to.

From faith hope and love the virtues of religion referring to God there arises a double act which bears on the spiritual communion exercised between God and us the hearing of the word and prayer.

By gold all good faith has been banished by gold our rights are abused the law itself is influenced by gold and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint.

A faith is something you die for a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.

If faith is lost there is no security and there is no life for him who does not adhere to religion.

I had to learn my faith and look after my family and I had to make priorities. But now I've done it all and there's a little space for me to fill in the universe of music again.

Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there's no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism Islam or other faiths.

There's been some research in cognitive science I'm told that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are as Pascal puts it so made that they cannot believe. To us when people talk about faith it's white noise.
