I grew up in a family where the internalized understanding was that the kids were going to grow up into a better world. I worry because I don't think my kids are going to have that. The world is very scary. The world would be scary without the choices the current administration made but they just exacerbated it. And it ticks me off. I want my kids to have a good life.

Having family responsibilities and concerns just has to make you a more understanding person.

I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family together all of us laughing and talking loving and understanding not looking at the past but only to the future.

In search of a complete education with the ideals of trust faith understanding and compassion many families are turning to the structure discipline and academic standards of Catholic schools.

The New Right in many cases is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts confuses and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people.

Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.

Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God the fallible words of men or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.

It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.

My faith foundation works to bring about a greater respect and understanding between different faiths. We basically work with six popular religions in the world which are the three Abrahamic religions Hinduism and Buddhism and Sikhism.

Between understanding and faith immediate connections must subsist.

It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

Faith must trample under foot all reason sense and understanding.

Testing leads to failure and failure leads to understanding.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt abandonment disappointment longing failure and shame where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.

We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success it's part of success.

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men kindness and generosity openness honesty understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest sharpness greed acquisitiveness meanness egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all?

Bottom up thinkers try to start from experience and move from experience to understanding. They don't start with certain general principles they think beforehand are likely to be true they just hope to find out what reality is like.

The American experience influenced my understanding of individuality basic human rights freedom of expression and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.

All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract or in any case one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important and when you are going through different moments you can reflect and go 'I have been through worse.'
