Do not fear lest you should meditate too much upon Him and speak of Him in an unworthy way, providing you are led by faith. Do not fear lest you should entertain false opinions of Him so long as they are in conformity with the notion of the infinitely perfect Being. – Nicolas Malebranche
What is faith? If you believe something because you have evidence for it, or rational argument, that is not faith. So faith seems to be believing something despite the absence of evidence or rational argument for it. – Peter Singer
It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesnt, and when it does, we may well reject it. – Bernard Berkowitz
