Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

If life is a comedy to him who thinks and a tragedy to him who feels it is a victory to him who believes.

Faith does not grow in a house of certainty.

The engine that drives all your activities is hope. What you hope in shapes you.

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.

Faith is not a delicate flower which would wither away under the slightest stormy weather

A man with a grain of faith in God never loses hope, because he ever believes in the ultimate triumph of Truth

My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'

People think of faith as being something that you don't really believe, a device in helping you believe simply it. Of course that is quite wrong. As Pascal says, faith is a gift of God. It is different from the proof of it. It is the kind of faith God himself places in the heart, of which the proof is often the instrument... He says of it, too, that it is the heart which is aware of God, and not reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not be reason.

And what is faith, love, virtue unassay'd alone, without exterior help sustained?

Let none henceforth seek needless cause to approve the Faith they owe; when earnestly they seek such proof, conclude, they then begin to faile.

We judge things by their present appearances, but the Lord sees them in their consequences.
