I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people I can't tell you how much I don't care.

I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist you feel like you have more control over the situation and that you can change your karma.

Ever since the Crusades when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith - even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity.

The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.

Jews survived all the defeats expulsions persecutions and pogroms the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people even the Holocaust itself because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.

From those to whom much is given much is expected. I have been given much - the love of my family the faith and trust of the people of New York and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.

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

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns and they spit on your faith.

You know this idea of going around the world imposing democracy by growing a middle-class a trading merchant class that is independent of your faith is a good notion but we're all partially different - it's no good imposing systems on people that it doesn't suit.

The democratic idealist is prone to make light of the whole question of standards and leadership because of his unbounded faith in the plain people.

I don't have faith in young people any more. I don't waste time trying to communicate with them.

Skepticism has never founded empires established principals or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.

For me and I suspect for lots of other people too bad things actually sometimes make you think more about faith and the fact that you're not facing these things on your own.

Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character not the color of skin.

All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That addressed as free-born autonomous men and women of God-given dignity they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.

And it's one thing to give people freedom and something else to deny the rights of Christians to assert their faith in order to keep Hindus from feeling upset.

I've always thought that as long as directors and casting directors don't see me as just Harry Potter I'll be OK. People have shown a lot of faith in me and I owe them a huge debt. They're letting me prove that I'm serious about this.

Should doubt knock at your doorway just say to those skeptical disturbing rebellious thoughts I propose to stay with my faith with the faith of my people.

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.

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.

Take away hatred from some people and you have men without faith.

I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You and keep doing what you love. Do what you love and you will find the way to get it out to the world.

It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.

As a people of faith we know that prayer is a powerful instrument. And as one Nation under God we know that many times our most powerful tool is prayer.
