The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.

People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic.

Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
I admire the serene assurance of those who have religious faith. It is wonderful to observe the calm confidence of a Christian with four aces.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions.
Just as no one can be forced into belief, so no one can be forced into unbelief.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
