A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing
Let us fear the worst, but work with faith; the best will always take care of itself
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into
In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it
Faith: not wanting to know what is true
How many things served us yesterday for articles of faith, which today are fables to us!
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith
And 't is my faith, that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

Lines written in Early Spring
'T is hers to pluck the amaranthine flower
Of faith, and round the sufferer's temples bind
Wreaths that endure affliction's heaviest shower,
And do not shrink from sorrow's keenest wind.

Weak is the Will of Man
